Not just 10 percent, not just 12 percent, twelve point TWO!

This sounds like my engineering classes where students were warned that just because their calculators will come up with 6 significant figure, you do not design in a 198.325 ohm resistor.

It's called lying with numbers. Who is the economist and where is his analysis that supports these very impressive and totally incredible promises?

Maybe Cruzoids fall for promises like that - me, I want to see a genuine analysis, with assumptions, and explanations of what is in the model so, like any good engineer, I can drop it off the second floor balcony and see where it breaks.
