Yeah, I guess the Head of the Department of Economics at Oxford must have missed out on that classical training somehow.

Quite a few classically trained economists then go on to become neo-Ricardians or Marxists, as the content of classical political economy is often ignored or dismissed out of hand - but the idea of the classically trained economist as someone who ironically dosen't have much training in classical economics seems too real to me.
No true Scotsman fallacy at work here.
