in the government employ, one says and writes what is expected of him, until he is ready to quit or retire.

<<But, I am sure that you told the truth to the best of your knowledge in such public documents that you took part in preparing. >> Simple answer is, yes, I did and always will report the correct numbers. But I have the leverage to change the assumptions to suit the needs or fit the predetermined conclusion. I am 'expected' to do that. No one can prove in any court of law that what I have done is illegal, immoral or unprofessional. The real world problems are not as deterministic as laws of motion where there is a unique solution. A lot of subjectivity is embedded in them. From today's CPI report: "BLS will make quality adjustments to computing the price changes in electronic equipmet." A subjective deal. BGR, you are so naive. I suggest you grow-up. -ng-
