| Dilbert, putting a paper on The Boss' desk, says to The Boss, "My
analysis shows that your pet project isn't feasible." The Boss says
to Dilbert, "Try working the numbers." Dilbert says, "That wouldn't
change the underlying reality." The Boss asks, "What if we massaged
the numbers?" Dilbert says, "Massaging the numbers means the same
thing as working the numbers." Dilbert says to The Boss, "You can't
make the impossible possible by hallucinating new numbers." Dilbert
asks The Boss, "Do you have any other ideas?" The Boss says to
Dilbert, "That depends on the the phrase 'fiddle with the numbers'
means."
