productivity is supposed to measure your ability to generate dollars. nobody cares if you can produce 5 times the widgets if your revenues and profits tank (see dram manufacturing history). your response has nothing to do with dollars, it has to do with subjective nonsense. *if* those faster computers generated more dollars, they would have done so without having to arbitrarily make them up.

they faked the numbers. they did so b/c all that "value" in the numbers didn't exist. if it did, it would've shown up in the numbers.
