This isn't really the limiting reagent in the reaction, though. I can communicate all sorts of awful things (sorry, had to share - it's totally my fault if you end up reading the entire thread) much more easily than I can do them.
Not for things with values in the range of 3^^^^3 -- in such a case the difference between ability-to-communicate and ability-to-carry-out is pretty much negligible. (The complexity of an action with 3^^^^3 units of disutility is right around 3^^^^3, under my proposal.)
Ah shoot, I read this post, and then I read SewingMachine's post, and then I realized my reply to this post was wrong.
I'll repeat my other comment. log(N) is an upper bound for the complexity of N, but complexity of N can be much smaller. Complexity of 3^^^3 is tiny compared to log(3^^^3).
Oh, you totally got ninja'd.
