I'm in the "Cool" class. It doesn't have much to do with economics. There's just some weird cool factor and either you have it or you don't. My best friend and I noticed it many years ago when we would meet at dragonfly conferences. There were a group of younger entomologists who wanted to hang out with us. Over the years our "crew" became about a dozen or so people who wanted to go where we went in the field and to dinner, at evening discussions in rooms where we talked about biology, entomology, evolution, etc. And of course drink beer!

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie
If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy
