Nonetheless, there is a difference between being the world's largest corporation, and being the world's most profitable corporation - a fact that seems to have earned me the wrath and scorn of Foolosophy...
Well, you really have to define most profitable. Are you talking total profit, or the percentage of profit to total revenue? If the latter is the case then Exxon is not the most profitable. And that is how most companies judge their profit.
You are obviously talking about total profit and not the percentage of revenue to profit.
