why would that not make him an expert whose opinion we should consider over that of a nobel laureate? A "Nobel Laureate", unfortunately, finds himself at the bottom of the list of people whose opinions matter. Because today, the Nobel is awarded not on the basis of achievement, accomplishment, wisdom, or character, but solely on the basis of liberal ideology. Consider that Barack Obama is a "Nobel Laureate". Yet, as we have learned, the man is incompetent to manage an ice cream parlor, let alone anything of substance.

"I bet ten took at least one economics class at cornell." I seriously doubt it. Economics isn't part of an EE curriculum, and Ten has extremely narrow interests and totally anemic general knowledge. He's MUCH more likely to be able to tell you the last 3 "American Idol" winners than the top three economic theories. Actually, he reminds me very much of an old boss. This boss was PROUD that the last novel he had read was in college 20 years before, where he was FORCED, and all he had read since were needed programming tech books! He told me he just didn't see any payoff in reading fiction, or even non-fiction. We both enjoyed SF movies though.
