Hugely profitable companies leak half the nation's personal data every month. Tell me more about how being wrong at scale is not valuable.

So what if it is more profitable or valuable? It is still not better. Something being more profitable/valuable does not make it better, just like something being better does not make it more profitable/valuable. Sometimes, in some pursuits, for some outputs under some circumstances, the two are correlated. In others, the two are anti-correlated.
