I understand your point and frustration Weblunchx2. Lotsa kids questions.
My wife sez I overthink but here’s my perspective.

IMHO, the overarching theme of WEB’s answers, while sounding nostalgic, revolved primarily around the theme of change and progress at Berkshire Hathaway.

For example, The Chattanooga Choo-Choo was a famous train and while Berkshire's original business was in textiles, it’s a far cry from the diverse investment conglomerate it is today. Hence, Berkshire Hathaway’s evolution, in WEB’s judgement, Abel is the right leader for its current and future direction, far removed from its textile origins.

I dunno. Just one simple minded man’s opinion.

Respectfully,
PaulnKC
