<Burn rate is really your average monthly costs - it gives people a feeling for how much you spend in a given month. So, for instance, if you were nine months into the year and you had spent $653,000, year to date, on operating expenses, regardless of revenues coming in, your burn rate would be approx. $72,500 ($653,000 divided by nine months and rounded off). >

My last one one this, as arguing further is indeed silly.
