Why repost this sort of naive analysis? The incremental cost of one extra pax isn't what one ticket costs either. So what?

Supply & demand determine pricing, not some simplistic analysis of what one extra bag costs. And, the analysis also fails to include the underlying cost, e.g., somebody has to actually go out and buy an aircraft in the first place.
