Also, a common response is to confuse a sales engine, fulfillment process, operational process, technology platform, or any number of other areas as business models, where this is not the case. Furthermore, a business plan, strategic plan, marketing plan, capital formation plan, exit plan, etc., are also not business models.

There are some organizations, business, and leaders who have an expectation that loyalty is a blind loyalty and that it does not preclude any behavioral example from them. In addition, standing with someone as a person even if they do something stupid is, in my view, an example of loyalty. In this case it's expensive to be loyal.
