If accounting theory is really as bizarre and illogical as all that, it sounds as though it ought to be right up Danny's alley (as it were). Maybe he's just not approaching it with the right attitude.
Okay, Accounting Theory, that I jus studied and bitched about? Is bizarre and illogical, and yes, Danny would probably have a wonderful time arguing each theory. Basic Introductory Accounting, whihc is what he's actually studying, relies on you accepting the basic rules and following the logic of debits and credits. You don't need to know why assets are debits, you just need to follow the rules and mark it in the right journals/ledgers.
Certainly all the accountants I ever worked for were barking mad. I always assumed they just started out that way, but who knows?
*giggles* Well, considering all the accountants I work with...
*thinks*
Um, considering *my* workplace, there's a bigger argument for boring. *smirks*
