Andrew wrote that with proper foreknowledge, c can be calculated. He
is, of course, right. But rational foreknowledge is not available.
Capital experiences sudden revaluations, both positive and negative.

Thus one can use an accounting *convention* to measure the transfer of
value, but these conventions are very inexact. In this sense, I say
that we cannot measure the c.
