I don't think I missed his sarcasm but there was some truth in
what he said, excluding this part: "They are, after all, just a
bunch of third-rate public sector bean counters". Further, I know
nothing about the Bureau of Economic Analysis people so how can I
agree with them being third-rate bean counters?  I agree with you
that whether in public sector or not, most of the time you are
given things to do that are impossible to do well. I was given
such tasks myself and I plead guilty of producing garbage.
