That makes a lot of sense to me. I believe big time investors who are directly involved in real businesses think a lot differently than stock traders and speculators (so-called and loosely-called investors, too, by some people), especially the short-term stock traders and manipulators.
Deep-pocketed people involved in real businesses have much longer time perspective, and not only interested in initial and succeeding capital investments, and operating costs---but more importantly in the cost/benefit, risk/return, payback period, etc. for the project.
Yes, huge projects with huge returns that are reasonably quantifiable requires decisive management, huge decision-makers, huge risks, huge costs, and usually long time frames. Huge investments can be handled by pooled resources if it is established that such investments can be recouped within a reasonable time as defined by the said investors. I believe that stock traders who talk back and forth day and night--don't define that time frame for these real business people. Most likely, they couldn't care less!
