> if i borrow a share from you and sell it

I think some of the confusion is people talking past each other.

I think some people latch onto the whole concept of "borrowing" as the supply inflation. In the housing market, when I buy a house it is OFF the market. There is no "borrow someone's house & reintroduce it into the supply and gamble on the direction of the market".

Can you comment on how that interpretation is wrong?
