I don't think Greg meant to present them as an argument, simply as information. It is up to you to determine if the effort required to support a segment of the market is worth the potential profit or not. For some products anything less than a 20% potential may not be worth it, while for others even a 1% potential is a valuable pursuit.

You have to look at your own situation (and consider that numbers for other products may not reflect your specific situation) in order to determine if it is worth it to pursue a particular market segment.
