Yes.

Thank goodness that I bound myself to the secret code of economist ethics all those years ago – after all, if I ever break it I die.

Are you saying you could spin it much better if you weren’t bound by the economist’s strict code of ethics?

Sometimes they get them confused – and use net when talking about job creation.  When that happens I sit there and think “man, they really could have sold that a lot better if they understood the data and manipulated it”.

It is merely misleading rather than outright untruthful!

Luckily, with inspiration from the Herald I’ve figured out the job creation business anyway, so we don’t need to worry about that avenue:
