I don't want to argue pointlessly, but while your conclusion may be right, I think your logic makes some leaps. Why is day the natural time scale? No one needs a plane every hour and no one needs a car every hour either. By that time scale, they are the same. Also, everyone needs a plane every year and needs a car every year too. On that time scale they are also the same. Only in a cherry-picked intermediate time scale are they different. :) I think your answer would be improved if you could justify why the daily time scale is most relevant.
- anthonyb 13y agoYou are being overly pedantic. Try s/every day/frequently/g and see how you go...
- tedsanders 13y agoPardon me, but what is s/g?
- htp 13y ago"s/every day/frequently/g” is a UNIX-y way of saying “substitute ‘frequently’ in place of ‘every day’ in the entire document”. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed#Substitution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sed#Substitution .)
- tedsanders 13y agoThanks!
- ars_technician 13y agoThe time scale in fact can go the other direction and still favor cars. It's about cost per use. If you drive every day like many Americans, it's cheaper to own a car than to use a cab. The number of people that fly enough to need their own plane is effectively zero.
