[ARC5] Can you say...

[Brian Clarke]

Using CPI is an accountant's way of guessing costs. Using CPI makes the
unstated assumption that the costs of everything move at exactly the same
rate over time, and that cost is exactly equivalent to sell price. Both
assumptions are painfully, obviously incorrect.
The true value of any goods or services is what the market is willing to
pay. So, let's stop playing silly buggers, eh?
