My argument that RH is industrial strength is invalid?

My point is NOT that RH is better than Debian (I haven't used Debian so
can't compare) but that one might have confidence that RH is a suitable
choice, whether for beginners (a point made by others) or for commercial
use as evidenced by iiNet and others who entrust their business to it. 

I cannot make any equivalent statements of Debian simply because I've not
tried one of their distributions and don't have first-hand knowledge of
anyone using it commercially.

I responded because I interpreted something someone said as implying that
RH is in some sense not entirely suitable for business use and I wished to
refute that implication.
