page 573 - the idea was simple. Measure a mountain and thereby determine its worth.
Dynamite the whole thing for aggregate = value
Dynamite the whole thing to get the 50% by volume that is coal = different value
Dynamite the whole thing just because you have that much dynamite, but then just leave the smouldering pile untouched, not because you couldn't sell some of it as aggregate or maybe coal, but because in the explosion you had hoped to find = personal value
In the eyes of others does your brand now hold sway or are you just the guy that was able to amass a large amount of dynamite that one time for an enormously wasteful display?
Also in the eyes of others: slivers of rock because that was a lot of dynamite, everyone was far too close, and no one wore goggles.
