The rather naive concept which underlies this suggestion is an assumption that the elderly from the year 2025 are able to live in 1985, and that anyone with a husband, wife, or child can enjoy the fruits of economic development. A more intelligent school of thought would urge the government and the people to make investments, save capital, develop skills and manpower, and confront the problem of an aging society.
這種意見中比較愚蠢的版本是以為公元二○二五年的老年人可以生活在一九八五年，而所得者夫妻子女則能獨享經濟發展的成果；比較聰明的說法則假定政府與民間都能及時調整投資，累積足夠的資金與技術，發展適當的人力組織以應對人口老化的問題。
