Made me think about $2 bills: A $2 bill has the same monetary value as two $1 bills, but people will look at you funny when you hand them a $2 bill. Or how about the psychological effect of having five 20's in your pocket instead of having 100 singles? I don't really have a point here - just an observation. BTW - I wanted to say thanks for linking to my blog. I just realized it today and I appreciate it. Hey Adrian,

Great series of posts on context. Made me think about $2 bills: A $2 bill has the same monetary value as two $1 bills, but people will look at you funny when you hand them a $2 bill.

Or how about the psychological effect of having five 20’s in your pocket instead of having 100 singles?

I don’t really have a point here – just an observation.

BTW – I wanted to say thanks for linking to my blog. I just realized it today and I appreciate it.

Had never heard of Goodhart's law but I think it's pretty accurate. Brilliantly conceived too. @Charles, thanks for the link – yes very convergent.

Of course, this was right after I bought a $4 water and felt ok about it.... Got into an airport chat yesterday about the book Predictably Irrational and how it boiled down to context for me.
