The point is that you're badgering me, which is suspicious in itself, under the circumstances. The guilt-by-association thing doesn't work because this is hardly my only response to your criticisms.

But there's no way I'm responding to all your comments here. I've been flooded with other comments recently, and I don't have the time to get sucked into another of these debates with you, especially since this is just a side point as far as the article is considered. We've already gone through these issues at great length, so it would be repetitive.

I appreciate your criticisms and your attention to detail. And I never claimed to be an expert on economics. But from my limited understanding of the matter, you're downplaying the problems with your field. That's the bottom line for me.
