Are you suggesting that increasing the supply of something doesn't push the price down?

That would be contrary to about 300 years of economic theory, so if you can prove it there's probably a Nobel Prize in it for you.



Consider price elasticity.

Increasing the supply of a good or service will only push the price down when enough of the demand has been satisfied. If the demand far outweighs the supply you're not going to see the price budge for a long long time.

This is basic Econ 101, not Nobel prize territory.


Better to make some progress than no progress?
