I could also write an article about how you can make two lengths of rope the same by cutting the longer one and tying it to the shorter one. I don't think it'd be news though.
You also strike me as the person who'd write an article about how printing money makes everyone richer, because it's like "lengthening a rope". Economics is far from intuitive, and using a metaphor to hide all the complexity doesn't change that. This is typical HN arrogance at its finest.
