That is a bit strange since it seems our economic models are ... extremely rough, at best.

  Our economics models are second to none. (cuz it's hard to predict the economic future of the entire human race)

    Yes, they are the best, but are they good?

  But that is quite normal, isn't it? The (perceived) need to put other people down ultimately stems from uncertainty about ones own work. And having only bad models available makes it incredibly challenging to think of your own work as "obviously worthwhile", making it more important to improve your own standing by putting down others.
