I think you are really joking... it is not just two metrics, and you really don't know about what your are talking about.

It is the reality that we see everyday. Salaries increases ~4x since 2001, yogurt in the supermarket increases 6x.

I dont understand why do you react like that. I am not joking. Read carefuly. My salary increased more than 4x, but that doesnt prove you wrong right? Statistics doenst work that way. Sorry if I offended you by having a different opinion, but ad hominem arguments like yours are not going to improve things, we should try to actually think.

You are being irrational, it is extremely easy to compare supermarket prices from 2003 to prices on 2012.

Yes, of course, but that doesnt prove anything about INDEC. The index does not measure the changes in that way. Please, dont call me "irrational", it clearly doesnt apply, I think that I have a reasonable argument that of course can be wrong, but by any means is irrational. Please tellme how do you go from this premise: "The prices in the supermarket raised" to "Indec is a lier". My argument is that it cant be "Because yogurth increased 300% and Indec inflation report is 10%". We need something better to prove they are wrong (and let me repeat again that I think they are wrong)

Sorry Roderik, I am beginning to think that you are part of a new Turing test.

lol, I'm with you on this one wslh.

Well, you keep talking about me instead about the topic,and I dont understand why you are disrespectful with my person. I will go back to reading on Logic, mi topic for this week. I got "Metalogic" from Hunter. Really, sorry for the noise.
