When I read the title I interpreted it as "economic bubble", and even skimmed the table in the article and tried to make sense of it. Until I realized the bubble refers to the idiom "living in a bubble" as in shielded from outside influences. I think it's a perfectly good term to use for the argument, even if the word 'bubble' has been overshadowed by recent economic troubles.
- joe_the_user 17y agoThe word is correctly used but if someone wants to communicate well they have to take into account the likely interpretation of a term regardless of whether that interpretation is correct.
