Economics is a pain ... one cent difference in this area was never defined by Keynes and Smith, nor has Nash been able to figure out why that cent vanished (maybe it never existed ... like some of his friends).
Expressions are not meant to be taken wholly at face value. If that were the case, then if knowledge is power and if power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely, then knowledge is the corrupter. Is that true in all cases?
Maybe there should be a penny jar by people's minds in case this issue arises again and tries to wreak havoc on the economic platforms of our lives.

It just goes to show that people provide too much info when they're asked a question. You're asked for a penny and give two cents. No one asked for two cents worth.

people who put their two cents in aren't actually thinking. therefore they are not the same so there's no extra penny.

Chalk it up to ego.
You think your opinion is worth 2 cents. Others value it at half that price.

You see, if you ask for comments, you have to pay 1¢. But if somebody just throws their opinion around uninvited, the charge is 2¢.
Hope this helps.
