And how are we supposed to know that you know what increasing one's position by 100% really means and that you're not mathematically illiterate (like the engineering magazine column author who thought that a 15% increase in productivity would be sufficient to counteract 15% layoff)?

Look, a lot of numbers get passed around on SI. The more you deviate from correctness, the more you risk your credibility (which isn't something of which politicians have a lot).
