How'd you get those priors?

I guess just a life of listening to people, like economists, who were in more knowledgable positions than I, repeatedly saying it over and over again.

I'm in no personal position to otherwise say boo.

Brian's schtick boils down to pointing out that sometimes, economists say things over and over again just because they, themselves, have heard them said over and over again - with the added trick (making it much more valuable) of proposing something better-researched than what they keep repeating. I guess that's my point, that this may be one of those. It'd be usual for him if it was.
