Numbers can grow exponentially and still remain in the realm of reason, but only for a
very short time. If give you a penny, then give you double that number of pennies the
next week, then double that new number next week, within a very short time I am giving
you more money than exists in the world.

KIS,

A small detail but I believe you explained geometric growth rather than exponential. I could be wrong. It has been a long time.

Glenn

PS The point you made is still the same:-)

Sounds a lot like the law of "diminishing returns".

There is another law. It's called the law of "increasing returns". Essentially the inverse of the "diminishing returns" law.

Thanks for the info.
