The push back I've seen so far indicates to me that there are clear political motivations for using the US Debt numbers instead. So be it. I'll be glad to pick equally offensive values for entropy in the next specs I author.
I just happened to see this thread, and this response makes me very curious. Quite likely I'm naive or ignorant, so this may be very obvious, but I can't see what political statement is being made, or how the sources are offensive. Obviously, the debt and budget of any nation is a political topic, but I can't see what statement is being made by using it as a source of digits, or who is being offended and why.
