Very smart people can believe in and say very not-so-smart things. To make the output equal when the input isn't, you're skewing other factors.

I remember watching a video about communism the other day that talks about equality. When trying to make everyone's pay "equal" while each person works a different number of hours, what ends up happening is that you don't pay equal hourly rates. If you pay everyone one equal hourly rate, then you can't make the total pay equal. It's important to see what factor we want to make equal for everyone.

Here he makes an elementary mistake when the input ratio probably isn't equal and somehow magically the output ratio is equal. What could possibly go wrong?
