Re: Counter-arguments

Perhaps accountants do.

Years ago I was doing a product profitability review and found a product that was about to be cancelled due to making a loss.

I discovered that the bean counter who had costed the BOM did not understand that the prices he was looking at for resistors and capacitors were per hundred. When I explained it to him he made it clear that the product would be scrapped rather than him admit to head office that he had made a mistake.
