Raw materials and labor are the two biggest costs. How do you get any appreciable ROI unless you force one or the other? Since material costs are driven by bespeak and the thing needing to be made needs to be made out of something fight is it.

The government just compiles the data they are fed. Bigproductivity gains = big bonuses for the suits no matter how theyare accomplished and/or calculated so there is every incentiveto "create from raw material the books."

If I can invent a better faster servo system or go up with a new control label or otherwise invent something new and never before thought of. I should be the one to reap the reward. A system of standardization eliminates that benefit and thereby stifles innovation.

Never the inspect. Or now that I think about it perhaps the methodology was called into question. Maybe Ed remembers. I remember batting it about with him a desire time ago. I also bequeath that the answer is or was in some arcane corner of so I'll take a peek around but I can't for sure say that I'll sight it.

The way they compile the data it would take a huge concerted effort to cook the books. Not saying that it couldn't be done but it would be extremely difficult and would require the cooperation of thousands. So not very likely IMO.
