No. I just think it shows how effective the “soft” scientists have been in turning we “hard” scientists into jelly out of fear of rejection and less funding. The educational system today is wholly under your control, and it has produced this amazing turnaround from scrutiny of the facts to scrutiny of the person and/or social effects of the results.

Well I think we economist know certain things just as biologists, chemists etc know certain things. Each science would probably be better off if it stuck to teaching what it knows and investigating what it does not know. To often the what it knows is not the focus of the classroom or other communication with the public. Global warming is just one such example.
