Historically scientists rarely agree either but you can't say that by definition they are rarely correct. Most economists probably agree on more core concepts than they disagree on.
I have no horse in this race, just thought it's a funny reason to dismiss an entire field.
- slededit 9y agoI think you can say they are rarely correct. Scientific Papers that truly advance our understanding are rare indeed. The rest are either failed hypothesis or of little predictive value. Note that this is not at all a value judgement. Incorrect hypothesis are important steps in the way of learning new things, and papers of little predictive value can in volume lead us to new solutions.
