JSFfan, my figures show JSF WS yearly cost increase of 5-7% on top of a 2% yearly inflation for the 5 years prior to Bogdan's arrival.
With a constant inflation rate, it's absolutely irrelevant in what year dollars it has been expressed because the relative difference adjusted by inflation always remains the same, so yes, it'd help if you knew what you're talking about.
Are you saying that each and every Sweetman's 'figures skewing' article is broken and so you can't link a SINGLE example?
