Natural doesn't tell us if Keynes finally validates that conclusion. Does he in fact conclude that such instruments are unnecessary?

(In my example, I assumed a businessman was better off understanding the balance sheet all the same...)

Re: Minor errors (none / 1)

Yes, he is concluding that (see BruceMcF's statement that Keynes worked with nominal GDP). But Keynes is very vague on the reasons why. The extended quote I gave is the entire argument as far as I can tell. So unless he developed it further in previous books, or it was "widely known" at the time that there were some problems (and what was the consensus back then?) it will be hard to figure out exactly what keynes had in mind.
