I think what I find frustrating about economics is you can't ignore the political dimension. You sit down with a data set and start analyzing? Better not. Not without vetting it. And often there are... problems.

Then as many people who have sat down with the same data set come out with these laws of human nature and the economy and to explain what they've done wrong is so much work.

I was interested in what the data showed in the first place! You spend so little time on that!
