Not accomplishing anything would be better than what is actually happening. Like with the hole example, once you fill it back up there’s a good chance you can still tell a hole was dug in that place.

What does “BNP” stand for in this context?

Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish all use BNP (Brutto National Product) for GDP. It could be German, although BIP is more common there (Brutto Inlands Product).

Could be a swede who meant "GDP" (BNP = BruttoNationalProdukten = Gross Domestic Product)
