    May I suggest you read him Philip Tetlock's research on the ability of pundits to forecast the future. https://twitter.com/TinaMcGugan/status/741742655256698881 …

        You, of course, won't suffer any consequences, but real people will lose their jobs. Those who can least afford to.

      No need. We live in America, where pundits forecasted a quick demise to the Trump campaign.

      I suggest anyone who's to decide on #Brexit should read economists, not psychologists.

      @TinaMcGugan how about the current very real drop in £ value & loss of investment just at the possibility of exit?

      If you've indeed read it you'll know that there ARE good forecasters, and Brexit 'radical skepticism' loses to good forecasts.

      Some say US punditry to be humbled by this election. Wouldn't be humbled if fired by news outlets, but a treat to imagine.

      saying 'we have no idea what'll happen if we leave' is not forecasting the future. It's the opposite.
