>>If I can buy a case of beer for $20 in the US or go across the border and get a case of the same beer for $18, what does that mean?

>It means you didn't say 20 USD here vs 18 USD in Canada - you say dollars and dollars, but fail to say which dollars. So it means I have no data - i.e. have data but no metadata, don't know what the data represent. Which again shows you didn't travel much abroad, or else you'd know that mentioning prices without being precise about the units will get you into anything between a confusion and trouble, depending on the exchange rate.

Yeah, should have worded the tile differently, but the example remains true.

Fair enough.
