Originally posted by meridian View PostPleased to see you’re impressed by Minford’s qualifications. What are your thoughts on QC’s?
Just pointing out the disparity, in Economics accolades/positions held, between yourself and one of the people you posted disparagingly about, regarding Economics being their strong suit.
Unless of course, you just happen to be an Economics professor at a University and also hold some form of Honour, e.g. CBE, OBE, etc........... BIRRDI
HTH BIDI
QC's? Decent law professionals, made to wear silly out of date clothes. Probably not related to a post regarding Economics though are they, given their specialisation is Law?Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment

Therefore, someone holding a qualification appears to be your general logical fallacy, an appeal to authority.
The relevance to QCs is that they also hold qualifications. I believe that a particular QC with qualifications advised contractors that EBTs in the Isle of Man were a good idea and totally legal. Under your logical fallacy though, that QC should be lauded.Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostNo you didn't. You didn't post any of my qualifications at all.
Originally posted by meridianThe fact is, you don't know what qualifications or accolades I hold, do you?
^^^ that was your chance to respond with your own pertinent qualifications, if in fact, I was incorrect and you chose not to...(hmmmm wonder if my assertion was correct?)^^^
Originally posted by meridianIt was related to a post where your only mitigation of Minford is that he holds certain qualifications. You provided no additional analysis on whether you thought they were good or bad qualifications, or whether or not you thought Minford was a good or bad economist.
Therefore, someone holding a qualification appears to be your general logical fallacy, an appeal to authority.
a CBE awarded for services to Economics is a very good qualification, as to receive that, the committees who decide look at all the evidence of that person’s work in the nomination. A CBE medal is presented for all types of different achievement, but in general the person nominated will have had a prominent role either nationally or in their region.
Peer-reviewed publicly-available research is another thing I listed (which in general, QC's will not have either, FFS), which indicates their work is up to a good standard, as otherwise the peers rip it to shreds... still....you can always link to your Economics research and I will retract my earlier post...shall I hold my breath?
The University of Cardiff analysed his qualifications and decided to make him a professor there - are you a Professor of Economics at a University?

Originally posted by Bean View PostThat's for you to do, if you feel you have anything pertinent to Economics, ya know like a CBE awarded for services to Economics, like Minford has.
Correct
Incorrect,

Completely different topic, (also a strawman too) as clearly stated previously by my prior post and further explained in this one, ya muppet.Comment

Cool stories bro. But again, simply an appeal to authority without providing any opinion on whether you think his economic analysis is good or not.Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostNot relevant for me to do, it was you that made the false equivalency.
Good, we'll leave it at that then.
Cool stories bro. But again, simply an appeal to authority without providing any opinion on whether you think his economic analysis is good or not.
Same topic. You're impressed by appeals to authority.
(To save time though, yes, in general his economic analyses are good and you can see/confirm this yourself, by looking at the 'Policy Impact' section of the Wikipedia link I posted previously... )
Also, I asked previously;
"are you a Professor of Economics at a University?" - you gave no response..... so until YOU correct 'the record', there's no reason why the assertion shouldn't stand, as you've had multiple opportunities to list why you think you're more qualified and 'allowed' to trash Minford...
So you still haven't posted your own qualification, pertinent to the subject at hand (Economics) and are still happy to trash someone who does, basically due to disagreeing with some (regarding Brexit) of what they say (which is a whole lot more than just regarding Brexit)?
Fantastic.
Or in words that you apparently understand... cool story broOriginally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment

It's entirely possible that Minford got his CBE for services to the Tory party agenda. Bean seems to think that the award of a British honour denotes quality in some way. Makes you wonder about Ceausescu, Mussolini and Mugabe.Originally posted by Old GregI admit I'm just a lazy, lying cretinous hypocrite and must be going deaf♕Keep calm & carry on♕Comment
