Your argument boils down to the Politician's Fallacy:

Not at all. Your suggestion falls into the Grumbleman's Intricacy.
"The value of a Nichuskin could soon far exceed what we pay for him in today's dollars.
A coin worth flipping.
Because we are mediocre."
Joking. An overpayment today (in the current value of the asset going the other way), if Nichuskin reaches his potential, is an underpayment in one years time. The gamble is on his learning curve, but the toolset is there.
