It's a great analogy, especially since at the end of the day economic shifts are rooted in... illogical meatbags (us). Economists like to pretend it's a science, and there are certainly scientific and experimentally-valid findings, but the innermost terms and interactions will always be obsfuscated. Like psychology, except with higher stacks of layered complexity. It's not as bad as steel deciding to change its tensile strength on a whim (because it heard other steel say so!), but it's not far off.
