Did you edit your reply? Not sure, but I suddenly read my rebuttal and I sounded like a dick, so I toned it down. Sorry - unusually cranky this morning :)
The article is quite probably BS as you point out, and I have no idea.
However keeping an open mind seems like a worthy goal, irrespective of the BS that goes on in any field and even if the social sciences do tend to be less empirically rigorous.
And while it's exceedingly complex, there are indeed some people (albeit a precious few), that understand how the economic machine works. Ray Dalio is one such example.
