S ^ L together is a true statement. I haven't been inconsistent.

I have to look up some facts about the car costs. I remember reading the breakdown of a average GM car cost when the companies were receiving bailout funds. I'll look it up and get back to you on that.
Actually, you have been.

Your argument originally was,

Cost = Quality
Q = Labour * Supplies

Then it was,

S + L = C whereas S + L > Design whereas S ≈ L

Now it is,

C = S + L whereas L > S

Either way, this is arguing pure sophistry. You said that supplies and labor made up the majority of the cost of the car, and then you said that only labor made up the majority cost of the car.

Compare: "[sic] is mostly supplies and labor", with "[sic] the biggest difference to the cost of a car to the company producing it is the labor costs".

I await your reply on where you received your information.
