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.

If efficiency starts diluting productivity rather than increasing it something is woefully amiss. What I want you to recognize is that sometimes the least efficient thing can be lead to the most productive outcome.
