I think Dr. Grantham has learned how to think in the best way to keep his job, in ways that do not question the motives of government publications. I guess I don't blame him. A guy's gotta eat. My problem is that when I've been lied to -- systematically and consistently for 2 years, I tend toward skepticism. That doesn't mean I'm smarter than the professor, it just means that since we're both dependent on information provided by other people, I am cognizant of the fact that I have been lied to consistently for 2 years and he doesn't seem to factor this in to his conclusions.
