“How many days was it before Freddie and Fannie blew up? 20 days after that article?”

This is known as the “Hutton Effect”.

I suspect that I have a greater understanding of practically everything than Will Hutton, except property speculation, obviously.

Matthew. Why not try setting the bar a little higher, like do you think you can write better that Polly, can you communicate better than Brown, are you more honest than Blair.

Will Hutton is completely clueless.

Matthew, with all erm, due respect, you have asked a bullshit question.

It takes no special expertise to point out when the so-called “experts” whiff. Indeed, it takes a special obtuseness not to understand that.

I can observe that the Titanic sank, although built and sailed by experts. The truth of my observation is not dependent on any special expertise that I have in shipbuilding or seafaring.

Tim – do you think you a) have a greater understanding of finance than Will Hutton, and or b) have a better record in forecasting economic trends?

Tim adds: What the hell does that have to do with blogging? This is throwing peanuts from the gallery at the lion trainer, not being the lion trainer.

“Will Hutton, friggin’ genius.”

With impeccable timing. How many days was it before Freddie and Fannie blew up? 20 days after that article?

Twat.
