Warren Buffet's argument leads to the conclusion that had Roman in the
time of Caesar invested a talent in land, or deposited some money with
the money lenders to earn interest, his descendents would now be worth
10^67 talents, or about one trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion
trillion dollars, whereas had he buried a talent of gold in the ground,
that Roman's descendents would now be worth about one talent, which is a
few hundred dollars.
