I guess what this paper adds is a higher N and the reverse case, that classroom skills don't transfer to the market.

I figured that for better or worse, every single person in that classroom will have to deal with some amount of "money math" in their life, and "money math" is still "real" math, and programs involving money are still "real" programs. If nothing else, I couldn't really get the "when will I ever use this????" kinds of questions.
A lot of people seem to have almost a "phobia" of mathematics; they are perfectly fine doing the relevant calculations in regards to stuff that's directly used, like money, but seem to shut down when mathematical notation is used.
>If I'd known you kids would get so much math practice from this I would have bought it a long time ago.
