And I'm not saying that the figure isn't "eye opening" Never said any such thing. What I AM saying however is that it is not as simple as some here like to make it out to be.
IMO, at no point did Timbo or 88drvr ever try to put a super fine point on the lost million, they averaged it. Now you are trying to put a super fine point on it just to be argumentative. If it was a million more or less for a middle of the pack guy, it was a million for everyone...mean, median, mode who cares...noone but you argues against it.
Now for some reason you demand some scientific analysis...demand it from your effing union, you know the leverageless, no strategic goal, collective bargaining agent.
