I fail to understand this one, despite seeing it in the newsletter every other week. lhs is logarithmic rhs is linear Seems like a flawed comparison, but I don't really grok most of the macro stuff anyway

Correlation doesn't mean 1:1 linear relation. An observation can be "everytime that A goes up, B follows" and vice versa - even if scales are completely different. Correlation also doesn't mean causation. It's an observation that Lyn presents here.
