Try not to rely on appeals to authority, it’s not about where information comes from, it’s about the logical validity of that information. If you’re taking everything you read at face value that’s okay! Keep in mind that many people here are taking it into deep consideration and evaluating what is said based on its logical merit, who the author is does not play a role in that consideration. Regardless of whether the author is a scholar of economics or a homeless person, the content of the writing is all that matters. If it helps you can just pretend that it has no author

I understand what you are saying however... logical analysis only gets you so far. What was logical to a medieval mind is not logical today with no difference in intelligence in the thinker the only difference being a far superior knowledge base. And my main point is we have the internet we have access, we have access to economists who have the baseline of information to provide a considered argument I can trust.
