Sure, what I'm getting at is that in your hands, or in the buyer's, the value can go to zero or multiply. If they buy, it's because they assess that the chances of it multiplying are greater than it going to zero. Why sell in that case?

what I'm saying is the buyers are subject to the same risks, I'm not ignoring them

I believe the complete opposite. If someone is willing to buy your business, no matter the amount, it’s because it’s worth MUCH more than what they’re paying. It’s illogical for them to pay less than its real value. It’s even illogical to think they’d pay exactly what it’s worth. Why would somebody bother buying a company if they were only going to break even?

"we can understand what they valued so much that they were willing to sacrifice long hours or scarce resources to get it."

well, those long hours must have been boring as hell. I don't think they felt it was a great sacrifice
