I'd like to preface this by saying that I was tricked into reading your post, Makata. I read it before I could see that you posted it, and discovered the reason why your post had so many logical fallacies.

But anyway, with regard to what I quoted, that comparison would ring true if it took me 3 hours to work on the picnic, but I could instead pay $3 for some chinese fellow to do it instantly. And yes, I'd do that. (Hired help is actually much more expensive than that, and they wouldn't do things faster than I could really).
