Your response has nothing to do with the questions asked. We were not discussing my business other than my giving an example of editorial costs that are far from minimal. Unlike you, I have not claimed that every book by every author costs this much, only that costs can be in this range and higher or lower, but that regardless of what they are, the publisher fronts them and few authors would be willing to do so.
And you still haven't explained why my rates make a difference to the discussion in general. What does it matter whether I charge $1 or $1,000,000 per hour for my services? And you still haven't explained what I supposedly need to fully disclose.
You are very quick to dismiss opinions and knowledge that contradict you but you do so seemingly on the basis that "I said it, so it is the gospel." Not a very secure foundation.
