As opposed to the arm-chair economists writing blogpost with an agenda?

Economics is not an exact science like maths or physics. "The Economy" is the collective human activity. It depends on so many actors. Actors who don't have full information, and who don't actually behave in a rational way.

Yes, I would be weary of anyone who speaks in absolutes and you should use your own common sense and judgement.
