Shouldn't there be one of those smiley things after that?

In the old days, there used to be competition over who had the the most ironclads/dreadnaughts. Is the competition now who can cut their Budgets the most and fastest? One of those aims looks more flawed than the other.

If the Sunday Times is using flawed stats to sell tickets to Joe Public for a trip on the outrage bus, is that such a bad thing?
