How do you explain a large deviation in magazine prices as listed in the CPI compared to the actual prices printed on the cover? Or swapping out steak for lesser cuts or ground beef?
You can claim that my assumed intent behind how the CPI is adjusted over time is a false equivalence. I'd argue with you there, but what absolutely is false equivalence is a pound of steak and a pound of ground beef.
It's the math version I hadn't seen before. I saw the comment shortly after I made basically the same comment with way more words. Sadly, even in it's simplest form, I'm sure the people that most need to understand it, will still refuse to accept it.
While it's true that both 10 != 0 and 100 != 0, you are certainly off track trying to equate 10 and 100.
