They don’t like em…are not true to them, dispute them, and make them UP.
Paul Krugman said it well when he explained that he *thought* becoming an economist would mean that there would be debates on the meaning of the Facts, welcome debates on policies and goals…and what he’s seen is FIGHT over the very FACTs themselves with these folks…as if there were no objective measures of anything…but merely points to be scored by adhering to a position IN SPITE of the actual FACTs.
Blech!
