"comparing apples to oranges" that is kind of the whole point here.
Most of the arguments in this thread are coming from two totally different perspectives. Some holding doggedly to various ideals and dogmas and instead of trying to learn the new domain, they try and make the apples look like oranges. This never works. Most are right about this or that when it comes to the domain that they are experienced in, but when economics forces people into a new problem space some don't try and learn the new space as a thing in and of itself, instead they try and adapt their methodologies and abstract to a different problem space they are more familiar with. That is where these conflicts come from.
