Oooohh. Berz is weaving a tangled web in this one.

He should recieve the same pay for the same amount of work and effort. That's my answer. Take it or leave it.


How about "the same pay for the same amount of effective work or effort?" - then you're on to something.

Yes, because any answer you give would either be inconsistent with the above claim or with this:

That's not what I asked. I asked, should the other person be paid more, because he put in more effort, or paid less, because he produced less?

It's not going to destroy my position. I've already said that the question really doesn't make much sense anyway. What if I asked you if the sky was orange or purple, when the sky was blue? Would you feel compeled to answer?

Ok, how about this. If there aren't enough tools for every producer to use the lessor tool producers should get the same compensation. Let's move forward. Make your point already.
