Do you think x5452 understands that most (if not all--I simply don't know if there is an exception) physical assets depreciate, and that depreciation is an expense? Do you think that might be the source of his confusion, thinking that something such as a car only qualifies as an asset if it cannot/does not depreciate?

So now we've gone from assets in general to physical assets.

And this related to Savings Rate how?

The context of assets in this case is savings, not physicality.
