Showing revenue is not "tiny" by any means. Considering that the vast majority of businesses hide this from the public, I think it's very notably "something larger than tiny".

How do you know this?

They were not claiming a fact, they were posing a hypothetical.
They mean even in the hypothetical how would they know, without open books? They're just theorizing, same as with revenue.
I’m speaking of things I have personally witnessed; but won’t go into more detail than that, for various reasons.
Man I love this kind of "evidence" that can't be dismissed, that is ultimately just a big "just trust me bro".

I wish you had said that in your opening comment. Would've helped me consider where you were coming from.
I'm just making an overall remark, wondering what you're inferring, and more widely still digesting this entire post.
Is it really hard to imagine a business with 20MM revenue and 21MM expenses?
Not hard at all, virtually every tech unicorn spent more than their revenue. Famously today it's all the AI companies.
18 employees on <$100k is not exactly rich.
