>Perfect-information is typically a required precondition within the models.
No. That is what I was calling you out for. Perfect information is not a precondition. No libertarian I ever heard of not any economist ever argued that.
I think you've read things a bit too hastily. I never said my example of inconsistent views came specifically or only from libertarians. (Or even the much larger group of people self-identifying that way.) The larger political group of "free-market cheerleaders" would be sufficient.
> [To #1] argument for free market isn't that all information is available.
That's not what I said. The selling-point is economic efficiency. Perfect-information is typically a required precondition within the models.
My complaint involves people who strut around boasting that they'll help usher in the conclusion while actually picking policies that sabotage the original requirement.
> [To #2] argument against cartels forming definitely isn't that secret contracts are necessary to defeat them.
"An effective-enough consideration that I can dismiss your worries about cartels as foolish" != "Absolutely necessary to end cartels"
