So you see that because of the way we perceive quantities, as the war drags on, the number of soldiers committed to it and the casualties will increase not linearly -- like 10,000, 11,000, 12,000 -- but exponentially -- 10,000, later 20,000, later 40,000.
Llavors vegem que, a causa de la forma en què percebem les quantitats durant el curs de la guerra, el nombre de tropes desplegades i de víctimes no augmentarà de forma lineal: com 10.000, 11.000, 12.000..., sinó de manera exponencial: 10.000, llavors 20.000, després 40.000.
