It actually reveals only the value that WAS. Nothing from a given transaction gives us grounds for judgment, Perhaps it might signify a trend but nothing more. Reality follows no rules, it creates them and they are always efhemeral.

Bastiat is the source after all, and nothing would’ve kept you from linking to the Hazlitt book.
