The Equation

As an engineer who has worked in a large corporation, I had always heard that the company's business executives would always make more than the company's engineers and scientists. Now, an intrepid reader has sent me an e-mail with a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.

Postulate 2: Time is Money.

Now, as every engineer knows,

          Work = Power x Time

Since

          Knowledge = Power

and

          Time = Money

we have:

          Work = Knowledge x Money

Solving for Money, we get:

          Money = Work / Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge decreases, Money increases, regardless of how much Work is done. The natural conclusion:

          The Less you Know, the More you Make.
