It's difficult to have a high level discussion on something if you don't agree on a low level. For example: individuals from the Austrian and Neo-Classical schools will necessarily have a different understanding of the current financial crisis. As such, they'll have to reconcile their underlying theories in order to coherently debate the implications of those theories. It's rather unfortunate, I think we could largely limit such discussions to just the points relevant to 'hackers,' but I don't think that we could avoid such degeneration altogether.
