Refute Friedman and Reich? TJ, generally you can't prove a theory or null hypothesis. The way the test works is you reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis, but you can't accept the null hypothesis.

By way of analogy:
Null hypothesis: there is no gold in them thar hills.

I go look and find gold, therefore reject the null hypothesis.

I go look and despite my best efforts I find none, therefore fail to reject the null hypothesis.

But no matter what, I can't accept the null hypothesis because it's impossible to prove there ain't no gold in them thar hills.

Ergo economic theories. Economists develop theories. Nobody proves them, but some are proved false. Consequently your challenge that we refute your economists beliefs (not the same as facts) is like suggesting we go spit into the wind. No thanks; you're wasting your time.

And BTW, yes, I've been taxed on CG, like that's got anything to do with the price of milk in Chicago.
