No, it doesn't. Like I said before, economics is a highly complicated field, and the reductionist attitude that people like you apply is just plain wrong. There are a hundred different possible results for increasing the cost of labour. Higher prices *can* apply. There is no reason why it has to.

I really don't know how to respond to this without being banned, so I'll just laugh and go to sleep.

I would of went with something like... "Swinging a hammer at my crotch doesn't mean that I will hit myself in the balls, there are a hundred different possible results that could cause that not to happen.  Still given the choice I would avoid swinging a hammer at my crotch."
