Re: "You've already said that, I've already said words to the same effect, and I've never argued otherwise."

Yes, I KNOW!

But you keep coming back with stuff like this: But if you have a temporary effect in one year, and that temporary effect goes away in a later year, then just counting each year will show it added, and then will show it removed later, as the actual measured GDP goes down.

Which only seems to be muddying-up the waters, confusing matters.

It's just semantics!

A HARD COUNT (of each economic sector) is MADE EVERY YEAR.

That's it! That's all 'she wrote'!

No 'temporary effect this year' or 'permanent effect' or some other linguistic frau-frau in some other year.... The sector numbers are ALL equally 'temporary', because they only get COUNTED if they happen, and to the extent that they happen, each and every single year....
