Answer the charge about Friedman,

Which charge? The charge that he knew more about trade than Will88?

No, but nice try anyway.

Will88 was challenging the implicit assumption that since Friedman was so well known / fabulously successful as an economist, that the usual strictures against "argument from authority" could be relaxed.

Which is what I mentioned in the post you are replying to; please re-read it, the text did not scurry off of the page. :-)

Cheers!
