So you're saying that computer scientists are inherently more likely to be correct about an economic proposition than economists? Could it be that the field of computer science is more amenable to provably correct statements than the field of economics?
I'd say that computer science has shown similar failures when dealing with phenomena that are as large-scale and chaotic as economics. Artificial intelligence is one such area in which it has been difficult to produce results.
Using the word "system" as broadly as you have in this post seems like a recipe for shaky reasoning.
