As always, watch your units or your result is meaningless:

  Power = Work / Time
  Knowledge is Power

The first power is in Watts. I'm pretty sure the second is some sort of political unit of influence.

I'm not sure whether you took the article too seriously, or if I'm taking you too seriously

well knowledge/information is dimensionless so we ll have to add something with dimensions of Power to balance, let's say (your weight) * (height^2) / (Time^3) . (because, why not)

And Time is Money so you 're looking to maximize Money = (Your height) * Sqrt( Knowledge * Weight / Work) .

Note how knowledge doesn't matter that much. Be tall, fat and lazy.
