Numbers, Reality and Models. The important team is the one who makes the reality happen. Not the guys who made a model of reality in a piece of paper. You can overpay the guys who make the blue-print (blue-print understood as a project in a planning stage) if you want, but the important is the team -a plethora of technologies- who, put together makes that reality into a product and bought it to market. Here is the proof: As soon as making blue prints get common knowledge the pay of the producers of blue-prints falls they become redundant. You can pay expert experts, but as soon as a cleverer way of doing the work executed by expetrs they are out of the door. The important thing that makes money are not numbers is the general idea that pieced together a concept that originated a project to create a reality. That is why forefront companies fall and rise. It is why people who earn lots of oney are earlier retired. Numbers are models. Symbols chosen to represent reality. You earn USD2.000. You don't eat 10% of it. You eat USD200 extra money you got as a raise. Once I learned that (1975-76) I was on my way to earn ore and more money. Only people who believe inflation is wealth, put his faith in numbers. Only people who believe in accountants wouldput his faith in numbers. My faith is in cold reality, whatever the numbers say, because it is the set of circumstances that rules the universe. Not numbers.

A number today is another number tomorrow. Gold chart shows that. That is why we have charts. Because of the vagarities of the numbers, we need to see how numbers variates overtimes depending on a given reality. Inflation changes your numbers. Numbers have to be seasonally adjusted. During Wayo time, even numbers were adjusted for something they called: Good will! Numbers are tools of wayo men. You know how dress up numbers you've got it made. Recall, I suing the expression Enroning -in the BBR- when AG was doling out jobs figures 2002-2003) Excel Spreadsheets would not have been invented if numbers would not be used as tool for wayo. Luckily they have a way to create graphic reprensentations.
