The measure of a logically consistent argument is not determined by my ability to convince anyone of anything. Nor is it determined by the spending habits of a government department. If that were the case, a tradesman would conclude that hammers cost US$364, toilet seats would be US $640 and coffee machines would be US $7600 each.
