Not really a good point. A quick google search of U.S. companies older than 100 years will put things back in perspective.

Amazon going into logistics/express deliver/freight would be the equivalent of Apple going into the ISP business, Starbucks growing its own coffee, Budweiser getting into the bar and restaurant market, etc. Do they just lack the genius of Bezos to do so? Amazon's foray into shipping is like Delta's into oil, a cost reducing strategy.
