I clearly understood your point and agree with you. Your response to me suggesting “destroy” isn’t the most precise word is to switch to the word “eliminate” then try to convince me that I’m wrong. Weird!

Maybe you’re the type to say it’s a quarter past when it’s really only 13 minutes. That’s fine, but let me explain how your assertion leads to strange results if taken literally. Which, again, maybe you’re not the type.

I kill all the bees. I’ve eliminated beekeeper jobs. Progress!

I destroy all computers. I’ve eliminated all programmer jobs. Progress!

I throw a comet at the earth and kill everyone, eliminating all jobs and inflicting maximum progress. Yay!
