I think what you mean is that because political economy is closer to dogma than to natural science, rational discussion focused on discovering objective truth is just a waste of time. Economical political decisions are made by men to serve other men, and should be adjusted accordingly not to be incontestable dogma supported by spikes of intellectual masturbation. Eppur si muove!
No, arijo, biohacker42 didn't say anything close to "rational discussion focused on discovering objective truth is just a waste of time". It's just your idea, and a stupid idea to boot. I downvoted both of your comments accordingly.
Disussing dogma is a waste of time and energy. Economic decisions should focus on solving real people problems in pragmatic terms (in an agile way if you wish). Elaborate intellectual theories, though eye-candy, do not stand on firm reality grounding (think of Locke's madman concept - one who makes impeccable and rigorous reasoning based on flawed data and assumptions). That's all I was trying to express in my comment above.
