No offense taken. When I originally coined the idea, the vision was that, like a pyramid, you have to build from the ground up. You have to start with a foundation. So, I viewed raw infrastructure as that foundation that can be built on top of. I do agree with you about the upside down pyramid, in fact, in some of our presentations, we do call that out and actually show the pyramid flipped to signify quantity.
I hope you follow that line of reasoning. I'm always open to suggestions though.
Thanks,
Michael

I see no justification for this imbalance whatsoever and could well present an argument for an "upside-down triangle"
