Well, you have to hand it to Torgerson: when he's right, he's right.
This historic occasion was prompted by my last post, in which I commented on a hard-to-trace newspaper clipping that floated up out of the swamp that is the pile on my desk. As Torgerson pointed out—rather gleefully, I note—the clipping was way older than I suspected, and thus my long-winded afterthought on intellectual honesty was completely unfounded.
In this case.
So, to the good Dr. Bush, author of the economic paper that was the topic of my clipping, and to Dennis Rodkin, who wrote my clipping: my apologies. And many thanks to Torgerson for a well-deserved spanking.
Now that we have the mea culpas out of the way, I can't help but notice that Torgerson seems to have slipped away without addressing Dr. Bush's economic theories. Can't say that I blame him there.
