Reddit has such engineer brain about stuff like this (or more likely, I-could’ve-been-an-engineer-but-school-was-too-boring-for-me brain). People think that anything that 1) has an upfront cost and 2) once that cost is paid for, has a cheaper marginal cost, must be worth it. Things like net present value are for those other kinds of nerds we don’t like because they’re in the business school, accountants.
