It would have been funnier if I, C, U, F, and Fm had reasonable sounding values. Importance on a scale of 10 sounds dopey on its face, just like 'on a scale of 1 to 10' never gives the kind of scale, the expected distribution, and so on.

If I, C, and U were bounded by the interval [0,1] then it would be easier to pitch this to suits.

There needs to be some revision to make sure that the exponent is a dimensionless group.

But I did like the old joke about the 386 computer.
