An even easier example: X is always -4 and Y is always -2.
Since amounts of money are positive, this is a counterexample to a mistake not in the original article.
Thanks, this is indeed a simpler counterexample. Note that it is a counterexample to a different error in the original statement. In particular, the error you've caught here is that from
X/Y > 1,
one cannot conclude that
X > Y.
