1. You are wrong to claim Sears invented the business model (I actually already know this is incorrect but we'll go with it.
2. I was wrong about Sears' perceived future. I should have invested in Sears. And Bezos stole their idea and I got lucky.
3. I was right about Sears' perceived future. Sears was not in a position to become the next Amazon. And they just plain failed.
I'm assuming you are picking possibility 1. After all this is the obvious selection for someone with your confirmation bias's?
