BIM is not just a building, it is the whole built environment that building exist in. A site may part of your BIM, or the whole city may be your BIM being used for Facility Management and Operations where the building can be deleted and another will take its place in the future. BIM is about much more then a single building life cycle (Jernigan, 2007)(Eastman et. al.). Your equation is false. It implies a false definition of BIM. We must also use BIM to increase the rate of which our environment becomes more sustainable by implementing integrated practice. The theories of BIM (Fuller, 1969) are what the AEC are trying to achieve. Not a single building. And yes I understand your equation.
BIM is a new AEC paradigm, not anything to do with a single building. Its the changing to a non-traditional approach of interoperability (IFC & XML), collaboration (early communication among actor), and Integrated Practice (the sharing of data among all actors) for the AEC where the reduction of cost, waist, time, errors, etc. are the benefits Simple equations have nothing to do with BIM either! Nothing about the BIG picture of BIM is simple.

Thanks for the post Shawn. Its great to think that what I'm posting is actually being read.
As for BIM, I think we need to give it a humorous poke every now and then. I've been preaching the gospel for 15 years now and hope that we can all afford to put our tongues in our cheek.
:D
