Obviously, I can not sway you with words, so perhaps at some future time we
can meet over a little field baking in a wood fired oven and we can hash the
science and the art of it. :-)

Actually, that might be a fascinating subject on which to hear his opinions.
Being outside the field, my subjective opinion is that economics is an art

objective opinion than I.
