    In case you’re unaware, you’re accusing a Nobel Laureate in economics of piss poor journalism

      Nobel laureates can be wrong too, even when it’s on the topic of what they won for. Just look at Obama’s drone warfare program after he won the Peace prize.

        I feel there is a big distance between piss poor and wrong (as in incorrect).

        I agree with you that experts - or people with relevant experience - can be incorrect.

        My commenting in this thread didn’t hit its mark. I saw comments that I thought were unreasonably rejecting of a legitimate perspective from someone with credentials on the matter. Maybe it triggered me about today’s anti-knowledge climate (e.g., anti-vaxx). Oh well, live and learn
