By stating it should be zero, it is literally, by definition an ideal. That is not something you can decide on. Maximising shareholder value? Now, that is an ideal which is a root cause of many evils today.

Your claim of zero being the ideal level is not supported by any reliable data. You aren't qualified to make any statements about ideals.

I am not sure you see the irony in your own statements.
