As a scholar of law and public policy currently doing a PhD based heavily on the econometric effects of legislation, I have great respect for your education. I just wouldn't classify either of us as a scientist. ;)

No because he was a physicist.

Well done, Jaguar.

On this occasion I offer my apologies to Hamish since Doug shares his view that economists are scientists.

I'm calling BS on that one.

To call economics a science is misleading at best.

Google "Milton Friedman" "Free to Choose" "New York Times bestseller" and you will see this book was indeed a bestseller.

Don't take our comments to heart - it's just competitive spirit. Please stay, Douglas - you're welcome here.

Yes, that's certainly the spirit in which I intended it. Sorry if my chirping was too abrasive.
