In Response To: GAWP! (Christian Munk-Christensen)

No, but we use many "adjusted" figures because they have more practical meaning. For example, seasonally adjusted employment and unemployment figures have an easier interpretation that without the adjustment, while the numbers themselves don't change. In any case, I am equally happy to GASP or to GAWP ;-)
