The grandparent is not attributing malice to the author, but to the way the framework of economics is built. Cowen probably believe that what is saying is true and can't see different anymore.

I’ve been reading Cowen for nearly twenty years. He plays dumb when he gets caught out (“I’m not really a macroeconomist,” “I’m not really familiar with Keynes,” etc). Think of him as a lawyer representing his client. He’s not going to introduce evidence that hurts his case.
