Yes, sister snowbird, there can be little doubt that our dear brother Fred Franz not only guides the present day work but was also invisibly behind the wondrous new light about the overlapping generation. Truly, it would take an oracle of his renown to come up with something so scintillating that the brothers can all rally 'round.
I know the previous belief using the standard English usage of "generation" certainly kept me on my toes for many years, forgoing career, education and a social life happily telling all I could about the mathematics of 1914 plus a human lifespan. It was so invigorating feeling such inner peace and contentment while carrying my cleaning equipment around living as an adult with my parents waiting for the end to come.
We can only be thankful that this overlapping bullshit will hopefully recruit similar youngsters to do the same thing all over again.
