"I'm less concerned about who "deserves" what reward in some ideal moral framework than I am in encouraging risky ventures. Technological and economic progress depends on lots of business ventures being tried, most failing, and the few that succeed thereby proving the technological and business processes that were tried in that market, and thereby providing the basis for the next generation of ventures"

...as there is a competitive paradigm. Same for "business risk."

It's a good thing whoever figgered out fire wasn't waiting on a business opportunity.
