I'm actually a relatively well-qualified economist Cito - but disregard and disparage me as being an amateur if you like.
We've been through this before, KIR. Why aren't you employed by some economic think-tank? The problem isn't your personality. Economic think tanks are populated with folks who talk out of their arses. You're an amateur simply because you're not a professional.
There aren't any heterodox economic think tanks I'm aware of - economic think tanks only exist in accordance with the prevailing extant paradigm due to financing issues. The very fact you are poopooing views due purely to the fact I'm not currently drawing a wage as a nominal economists is precisely on topic however, so well done there. If there's one thing the free-market refuses to support it's think tanks which plot its retirement.

In what way can your qualifications be tested for that mine cannot?

No, I'll do as I please, actually.
