----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- [Regarding Barkley's argument.] A position is either correct, defensible, unarguable, etc. or it is not. To name a position "philosophical" or "methodological" is only to add a 5th wheel which gives a failed rival position a sociological out -- i.e. no valid out at all. Off course, much in economics depends on this invalid out.
