>WOW!!!! OUCH!!!<
That was my reaction too. I’ve listened to literally hundreds of CC’s and have rarely heard anything that lame.
What makes Alam’s behavior even sillier was that, after he said: “I have to respect the other people that are on the line, with questions…”, they took questions from only one more questioner!
I has hoping the next questioner would say: “I’d like to ask the question you just declined to answer in deference to me!” That would have really put them on the spot.
When Werber asked his question, I think Boger slipped a note to Alam that said “stonewall.” Seriously.
“The efficient-market hypothesis may be
the foremost piece of B.S. ever promulgated
in any area of human knowledge!”
