|content=Monthly Reminder Moral: it’s really really really hard to fake a field. Economic Index Numbers like '''CPI''' are not real numbers. They are naturally group-valued *FIELDS* that would be nearly impossible to fake and manipulate. | |||
The *entire* subject is off. [[Peer Review|Peer review]] won’t help. 🙏 | |||

|content=I understand that '''CPI''' is 7.5%. | |||
Different question. Look at the spread. | |||
Tell me how we got 7.5%? Do you have any idea what 7.5% means? | |||
Now listen to who repeats this number. | |||
If they said 7.57348977% ± 0.0000003% you would be laughing. | |||
We should be laughing, not nodding. | |||
