Peter, I cannot, will not and should not argue with such an argument.
I won't call you names right now, but trust me, you really tempt me

P.S. I dismissed your math as it is something I don't care too much
about at this specific moment.
Don't look at the math, look at the order of magnitudes of the numbers.
This is a very tiny problem. I agree it's a tragedy, I wouldn't want to
see this happen to a dog, but there needs to be some proportionality
here. Plus you asked for the insight of an Economist, and I spent a
good number of years studying to become one. I'm not kidding when I
talk about my disdain for the profession.
