I disagree with this point of view. Percents mean nothing without a frame of reference -- in this case, duration of time, scope of work, that sort of thing. So, this threshold is useless, at best. Or, if we start considering relevant frames of reference, we should be finding issues like learning curves, opportunity costs, systemic risks, and so on which could make numbers of this order of magnitude meaningless even if the underlying concept was rephrased so it was not so ambiguous. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
