[groups trimmed for vague relevancy] 93 million pounds of economic activity and 3000 full-time-equivalents of jobs do anything for you? See: http://www.lda.org.uk/upload/pdf/18_...gHillfinal.pdf tom ROFL. I doubt, in fact, i would say it was close to zero, the chance that the event generates more then it costs. More fool you for thinking so. Traditionally, if someone provides an economic model that demonstrates a particular outcome (the study above calculated both the costs and the benefits, determining that the benefits were an order of magnitude higher than the costs), the appropriate response is to criticise the specific assumptions used in the model. The response of saying "rofl, I don't believe that, because even though I have no evidence I do have a lot of personal prejudices. And you're an idiot" is not generally considered quite so convincing. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
