When the economy grows at a slower rate, the notional returns decrease and when life expectancy of population goes up it implicitly lowers the size of their annuity. [2]
In many scenarios, the use of "without loss of generality" is made possible by the presence of symmetry. [2] For example, if some property P(x,y) of real numbers is known to be symmetric in x and y, namely that P(x,y) is equivalent to P(y,x), then in proving that P(x,y) holds for every x and y, one may assume "without loss of generality" that x ...
