I haven't actually given a theory. All I have done is point out that some
people working for Avon, Amway, NuSkin, Nutrimetics etc earn more from
commissions on products sold downline than they do on their own sales. To
put it in your words, the totality of their earnings is mainly from the
sales of others. You have to date ridiculed my (non-existant) theory but
not answered my original question. If earning more from others sales than
your own is illegal because it is pyramid selling, why hasn't Avon etc been
closed down?
