Hey, I didn't say I have the ultimate solution or whatever.  I just 
contested your statement that in productivity-stuff people could get 
paid more when being more productive, while in e.g. education such 
issues should be... well, no issue :-).  I said that a similar 
productivity-like claim could be made for education as well.  How to 
measure education, well, that's for others to solve.  I should go to 
bed now :-).
