It's widely held that ignorance rises to the executive level, with a concurrent rise in pay; but, until now, we've had only anecdotal evidence of such.

Well, finally, a formal proof is to be had.

1) Axiom - Knowledge is Power
2) Axiom - Time is Money
3) Power = Work / Time (Classical Physics)
4) Knowledge = Work / Money (substitution)

Therefore, Money = Work / Knowledge.

Thus, for any given amount of Work, Money approaches Infinity as Knowledge approaches Zero!

Which means rich people do little or no work.

Limits

Hmm.
