>I ask again, Why revise at all? There must be a reason, and i doubt >it is in the interest of scientific accuracy... Why does any government agency admit they were wrong and fess up? The same reason Slick Willy did: They obviously got caught by someone. I'll bet everyone here a dollar that the ".1 to .3" percent change will be applied in a different amount to each month- and those changes will be EXACTLY what was required to have the CPI beat or meet wall street's expectations and save the markets. You'd think if it was a software error, it would be the same for every month. But I can guarantee you it wasnt!
