Are you speaking grammatically or economically? If the former, that assertion has already been disproved. If the latter, why do businessess bother employing CEOs and Managing Directors and paying them millions to grow them? Are you arguing that a business grows randomly by itself, out of the control of its owners? That it may be said reflexively to grow by itself but may not be said passively to have been grown by someone? (groan!)

Or are you saying you would like to use another word for grow when someone grows their business? Like expand or enlarge or diversify or horizontally integrate? \:D

Or are you just being a troublesome Confederate rebel? \:o
