Roosevelt: "Will some one give me a one handed economist"
Stigler(famous Chicago economist): "It takes an economist 10 pages just to clear his throat."To keep this audio (well, music) related. Every professor I had had a very keen and deep appreciation of music.
Also, I think it has been said that you could put a bunch (gaggle?) of audiophiles in the same room listening to the same systems, and they would probably agree on what they heard, but would disagree on what was better, because each one places different emphasis on aspects of the sound that are important to him/her.
In economics, economists for the most part agree on the theory (what will happen to y if you do x), but differ on whether y is desirable or not for society.
