I am not a specialist, so I can't give you an answer. You'd have to ask someone else.

I'm an empiricist, though. I don't trust big deductive theories that try to explain things without reference to the pesky details.

I was once an empiricist [it's how we're trained in America]. I thought the Austrians were cranks. Once I realized the difference between deductive theory and inductive theory, I began to take a closer look at the Austrians and am now firmly in their camp.

I hope you'll take a closer look at them.
