That's like saying that all generalizations are false.

: ^ )

At least you didn't quip that if all the economists in the world were laid end to end they still wouldn't reach a conclusion, or that you can know where a quantum physicist is, or which way he's travelling, but not both.

The law of gravity and the law of supply and demand are both logical constructs which were developed to explain certain observable and reproducible phenomena.

Having said that, I find that the Austrian economists have created conceptual models which reflect reality far better than any of the other schools.

And my quip about dizziness was meant to comment upon what appears to be a common phenomenon:

the loss of critical thinking skills induced by the viewing of the numbers displayed upon a gasoline pump.

That, you have to admit, at least, is understandable, because oil, and specifically gasoline, is more-or-less the blood of our modern economy.
