Yeah i can now see your reading of my comment. By "Non event" i meant the absence of an event. not that it's non-impactful. I guess the difference is objective measure of "did a thing occur?" vs the subjective &quot

It's a trick of currency risk though. The denomination can make things weird. The price of a gold piece could be $1000USD or $100USD . But if it buys you a loaf at either point of time, has the gold changed in value? I have a joke that
