Google is also one of the most successful companies in the world, yet they have had their share of bad purchases / decisions.

Heck, Microsoft bought Nokia, and then completely dismembered it.

It's entirely possible for someone in the higher floors in Amazon to convince themselves this is a good fit.

Maybe it's a good decision, maybe not. But it's never right to say it's a good decision because a successful company took it.



Nobody said it was necessarily a good decision. They said it wasn't just the whim of some executive who thought it sounded cool.
