We don’t know exactly how the 12 members of the FOMC will behave.

Oh, if only dim policymakers behaved as economists tell them to! Wouldn't the world be a wonderful place then?

Sumner agrees with your sarcasm, so not sure who you're arguing with ...

What he's pointing out is there's a human-driven force to economics so it's not accurate to compare it to a (theoretically) closed system like physics.
