::If I recall, in economics class, value wasn't measured in literal earning potential, but literal enjoyment. Working was only considered valuable if the money you earned was worth more than the time you lost. Actually, it seemed most things would be measured in enjoyment. An example I particularly remember is if you planned to own a $15,000 car for 5 years, then you needed to have at least "$3,000 worth of enjoyment" each year in order for the car to be considered worth buying. While we cannot say necessarily that the nerds will be saving enough money to justify the time wasted in terms of earning potential, given the general tone of xckd, it would likely be correct to say that the time they spent trying to decide cost them more ''enjoyment'' than they'd likely receive from the savings on whatever it is that they are buying. -- '''[[Special:Contributions/Zordonmlw7|<span style="color:#c04080">I</span>]] [[User talk:Zordonmlw7|<span style="color:#4080c0">feel</span>]] [[User:Zordonmlw7|<span style="color:#80c040">lost</span>]]''' 09:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC) | ::If I recall, in economics class, value wasn't measured in literal earning potential, but literal enjoyment.
