I understood you correctly, but the problem you see in the profit/hour remains when you change it to profit/day. These are both theoretical values. Even when you calculate the profit/day you will still need to guess the amount of collections a 'normal' person can do per day.

For example, one might collect in the morning when he wakes up, work hard all day, collect before diner and collect before going to sleep. Another person might have a lot of free time and collect almost every hour. If they would want to know what building is most profitable for them, I think they will find the profit/hour and the profit/day equally useful or useless.

What I am trying to say is that profit/hour is just one of the possible measures for the relative profit of a building. It could also be profit/day or profit/week or whatever scale you can come up with. I started using profit/hour because there are buildings that only take a few minutes to accumulate completely but also some buildings that need hours to accumulate completely, so the scale of an hour is somewhere in the middle of this.
