In response to “Jane Galt” and her claim that being wrong on the details but right on the outcome means you’re wrong:
In all fairness, pundits are not usually this wrong this fast, and so are not used to being held accountable. Usually, if they are wrong (say, about the economic benefits of tax cuts, or aid to the poor), the results come out in dribs and drabs over the years, and can be explained away. Being held accountable in a small time frame, just like people with real jobs, must suck.

Do the people who pay their wages as pundits/writers/opinionators ever follow up on their output? A blind guy could do better with darts.
