    top causes, not factors

    if your R&D costs make your business unprofitable, something’s going to come along and topple it, same as how “smoking” isn’t a cause of death but lung cancer is a very major cause of death

      I would still say citation is needed. Of course if a company’s R&D costs balloon large enough they will topple a company. Is that really what’s happening in bankruptcies “most of the time”?

      On its face that looks like an impossible claim because of the number of bankrupted companies that don’t even have R&D.
