It does repudiate it, directly. What are you on about?

It doesn't remotely repudiate anything I said, more than saying that Gpvos is the #1 seller of buggy whips ergo ipso facto buggy whips are super popular. This is not a hard logical chain to follow, so good god.

But secondly, even that site claimed they have what, a 20% marketshare of multitools from once owning the market entirely to themselves? Even if we were so profoundly simple that we believed that being the biggest vendor in a market validates the market, this particular example is hilarious.

  • If you opened the link, literally the first line says:

    > The Swiss Army Knife (multi-tool) market, currently valued at $402 million in 2025

    Nearing half a billion dollars doesn't sound like buggy whips to me.

    And the bar chart clearly extrapolates the market continuing to grow. Not shrink.

    But you still think the #1 brand in a large and growing market is "positively non-existent"...?

    Again, for convenience:
