The "TQ" Year

OH WHAT A DOPE

It was when I deleted the "TQ" year from the spreadsheet. I think it shifted all the numbers out a year, or in a year. I think it moved the whole right end of the exponential curve up (or down) by a one-year increment. And I think that was enough to put my "Gross Hypothetical Output" numbers entirely below (or entirely above) the actual numbers for the 1955-1973 period. I think that would have done it.

I was sleepin. For about 3/4 of a second, my eyes opened wider and wider as the above thought went through my mind.

I looked at the clock right away. It was 3:08 A.M.

So it goes.
