"Let's say I offer you a bar of gold. You know, for a fact, that it is 100% real gold. I hand you the bar of gold, which is about as big as your phone, but you are not allowed to weigh it or in any other way attempt to determine its mass, volume, etc. Then I tell you that I'll sell you the bar for $50. Now do you care what the hell it's worth?"

I'm not following. Is this sarcastic, serious, something else?

Probably sarcasm.
Also, "I hand you the bar of gold, which is about as big as your phone, but you are not allowed to weigh it or in any other way attempt to determine its mass, volume, etc."
If you hand me the gold, I can still guesstimate its weight, look at what the market is paying per ounce, and determine if $50 is a bargain or not. So of course I care how much it is worth. Maybe the analogy was just a figure of speech and wasn't meant to be taken seriously? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
