I think your take is reasonable.

That makes amazon overpriced by, what, 25%? Which is not particularly shocking. Lots of stocks are a bit overpriced. AMZN is popular. Don't buy it. Shrug.

When you compare a 3000 P/E to a 20 P/E, you might come away thinking amazon is overpriced by a factor of 100, which would be shocking. But I don't think there's any reasonable case that it's overpriced by a factor of more than 2.
