I generally agree.
I got in trouble here quoting an economist of note. I was reminded of his mistake(s). Well, name an expert with a 100% record.
I use weather forecasting as an example. I can step outside right this minute and tell you what is going to happen for the next couple hours. But I see rain in the forecast for MONDAY. the 3 places I look at, neighboring towns, ALL call for 50% chance that day. But were I to look in detail? Differences in TIMES and probabilities. Still actually up for grabs at MY house....
But with people? They respond to predictions and information in UnPredictable ways. Sometimes even contrary. I just recorded a movie to watch. 'INSIDE JOB' tells the story of the 2008 finaancial meltdown. The few minutes I've seen? None of the players see anything wrong. Business as usual and Ho-Hum.....It's easy to game-the-game when you OWN the game.
I'm partisan to somethings, but not a particular party. Pandering bastards, all.....
Too much is never enough
