One of the problems with relying upon static analysis is that you assume a box. And that all the variables inside the box are the only variables you need to worry about.
That's why you hear folks say things like, "you need to think outside the box."
Another feature of the static box is that it tends to become an echo chamber. You hear the same responses to the same variables over and over again. Of course this leads to both self-reinforcement of certain opinions and another popular antidote for static box echo effects, "if you're digging yourself into a hole, stop digging."
At some point one needs to think outside the box and to stop digging a deeper hole.
This is the advice of our Chinese friends to the man who is in charge of our financial future, Treasury Secretary Tim "Taxman" Geithner. From Bloomberg:
"Seventeen of 23 Chinese economists polled in connection with Geithner’s visit said holdings of Treasuries are a “great risk” for the nation’s economy, according to a Chinese state media report yesterday...
“It will be helpful if Geithner can show us some arithmetic..."
Yeppers. It would be helpful to see some math. Part of the cant of the Left is that Republicans are anti-science. I guess it's time to point out that Leftists are anti-math. (Which goes a long way toward explaining their "scientific views".)

It's not that they're "anti-math", it's just that they've been brought up with the "new math".
Here's two of the more egregious examples:
Radical MathRethinking SchoolsThis is the example I was looking for:
" Simply put, teaching math in a neutral manner is not possible. No math teaching — no teaching of any kind, for that matter — is actually "neutral," although some teachers may be unaware of this. As historian Howard Zinn once wrote: "In a world where justice is maldistributed, there is no such thing as a neutral or representative recapitulation of the facts."
For example: Let's say two teachers use word problems to teach double-digit multiplication and problem-solving skills. They each present a problem to their students. The first teacher presents this one:
A group of youth aged 14, 15, and 16 go to the store. Candy bars are on sale for 43¢ each. They buy a total of 12 candy bars. How much do they spend, not including tax?
The second teacher, meanwhile, offers a very different problem:
Factory workers aged 14, 15, and 16 in Honduras make McKids children's clothing for Wal-Mart. Each worker earns 43 cents an hour and works a 14-hour shift each day. How much does each worker make in one day, excluding fees deducted by employers?
While both problems are valid examples of applying multi-digit multiplication, each has more to say as well."
Propaganda comes in many disguises.
Is't not hard to see things for what they are if parents understand and teach their children.
Dad always pointed out to me while watching tv, news is slanted and will always be--more so for what is not reported than what is.
Learn to question everything, including the teachers.
That was 40 years ago. Hope & change nothing new
