Making educated guesses about the current business reality is what business journalists do. It is what they are supposed to do anyway. I feel that Forbes would not tolerate such sloppy, uninformed, and out-of-date coverage of any other industry.
Which is true for companies where the accounts are never audited and people have little idea of who really owns them. So few companies of any size.

yeah, but under a completely wrong assumption
You were offered enough and turned it down?

Then it wasn't enough or the right deal. Most offline guys were the same as you and I, never was enough or the right deal. So they hired people who were happy to work for peanuts, compared with what the top guys were earning. Even if working as an outsourced outfit it was rarely enough. Now you're working on a better level.
