A secondary flaw is this: GAAP teaches us to focus on sales and expenses first. Once again, it works against our human nature, which urges us to grow what we focus on. It’s something called the Primacy Effect (more on that in the next chapter)—we focus on what comes first (sales and expenses) and actually become blind to what comes last. Yes, GAAP makes us blind to profit.
