Charlie Gordon (Flowers for Algernon), at the peak of his intelligence, expressed the following with contempt towards his neurosurgeon:
"He was educated in the tradition of narrow specialisation; the broader aspects of background were neglected far more than necessary - even for a neuro-surgeon."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann

This guy could hardly be accused of neglecting his breadth. Don't be such purists.

[Collin Li]

Bullying (on IRC and MSN particularly) has led to a reversal of Ahmad's openness about economics. Please don't let it happen again. I will moderate against bigoted hate.

[AppleXY]

Yeah. I'm really annoyed by the bullying. LET AHMAD BE. LET HIM LIKE ECONOMICS -- "purists".

If Ahmad knew econ, he could bid a pay rise of greater than 3% (because the CPI sits around 3%) rather than you purists. [in a hypothetical case. ] (and don't twist my words around, saying "are you saying ahmad is not getting a pay rise?" )

[Collin Li]

Why is economics unpopular? Is it because there is a misconception that economics is all about money? (I suggest you read that article, it's a good read)
