Arguing from a point of authority doesn't help enlighten anybody. I have a degree in economics too, it doesn't elucidate anything for a reader or make my arguments any more correct. Your logical fallacy is here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority

Then why not enunciate your argument and have a productive conversation instead of relying on logical fallacies?
Unfortunately, this is par for the course for HN comment threads about economics and economic policy.
As someone who does have a degree in economics, it's as frustrating as sitting and listening to someone talk about why chemistry is broken because the Bohr model is incomplete and electrons don't inhabit shells.
