 The push back I've seen so far indicates to me that there are clear

 I'll be glad to pick equally offensive values for entropy in the next

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.
