Isn't that like stating the particular issue we are discussing, which is, the relative merit of PC GDP when deciding a yea or nay vote on 23 de junio, can be carried on without any mention whatsoever of established PC GDP perentages?
A la UK v Switzerland.
Statistics determine if an argument is meaningless or not, valid arguments are based on statistical evidence. So yes, as you have stated, I do tend to twist my arguments to fit the statistics.
If we agree the representation of PC GDP in this instance is wrong because of neglecting to consider an undefined "Black economy" of 25% how can that point of view be separated from any other economy based statistic? Walkabout has suggested that UK "black economies" might be estimated and included in UK economy statistics.
Frankly, he might have been joking. But who knows, which is probably your point exactly, so I will now address the Puerto Rican economy as related to his comparison of th EU and the USA. Have you read his post "The vision of the EU, for the EU" posted 16 hours ago? It is excellent.
Tim, this has been great fun. I do hope we meet again in Spain, Argentina, or here in the hubb pub. Here, Here!
