I wasn't countering your position (hence the "True").
Bringing up the fact that Brazilians/South Americans drop an insane amount of cash at retail outlets and amusement parks in Florida is just something to consider in trying to figure out why the hell they would build this thing, given the current state of retail, perpetual underperformance, and time horizon issues that you mentioned.
I wasn't suggesting this is a permanent situation or that the mall would pull enough business from existing shopping/attractions. I have no idea. But it sounds like they are building it... and I can't imagine they would undertake something of this ridiculous magnitude -- particularly with the current state of retail -- without some sort of assurance that they're going to see acceptable returns.
