Revenue and profit are very different. Like, it's easy to pump revenue at a loss.

I don't really see the benefits of this acquisition for Google, but congrats to the Wiz team!

At the very least it's a giant book of sales leads.

Yeah, I see that but it doesn't really feel like $32bn worth of value.
