It tends to end up with fallacious criticisms such as that the dominant schools are dominant for a reason, and things of this nature: “‎"To all of you Austrian econo…

General hint: ‘de-aggreggate’ it. Don’t talk ‘the views of the school versus the view of another school’. Talk specific. Do you want to talk epistemology? Let’s talk epistemology.
