I recall that somewhere in Schumpeter's _History of Economic 
Analysis_ there is a discussion of the general idea that conceptual 
frameworks can give rise to--what I am going to call--"imaginary" 
problems, that is, problems that are brought into existence by the 
framework rather than the phenomenon itself.  I would be grateful to 
learn the exactly location of this idea in HEA so I could take 
another look at it and reflect some more.

Thanks for your help!
