       It's an easy enough concept Goober. You don't know if it's   
   correct or if there's more to it though Goob...you can't think in   
   depth about anything, and surely there are arguments the other   
   way that you're not aware of.

       It would be good for some people Goober but as I pointed out   
   you can't think in depth enough to get a clue when it would be,   
   meaning you even suck at the basics of economics.
