"The policymaker is often suspicious . . . ," yes. Note nothing is said there about analysts setting out to critique policy. I'm calling a halt to this because all that's being accomplished is you embarrassing yourself. While that's enjoyable in a small way, I like to hold myself to a higher standard. Either you really don't understand the issue or you're determined not to admit you understand. Either way, I've done all I can usefully do here. Feel free to reference Gates -- he has it right and my position merely echoes his.
