Attitudes in Search of Justfication

I have to admit that I do not enjoy being a debunker of bad ideas peddled by self-proclaimed experts. But it becomes necessary to do so as is the case in my latest piece in the Business Daily of  July 30, 2014.  
Like the football “experts” on television or radio who have never kicked a ball, Carol Musyoka’s article in the Business Daily of July 14, 2014 on the cost of credit is an exemplar of how armchair analysis can go wrong. So does the piece by Scott Bellows in the Business Daily of July 18, 2014 . 
When one front-loads emotions ahead of analysis, the result is a prejudiced view. But hey, I know how this stuff works; if you want to claim expertise in a subject where you are ill qualified, you need to sound profound in your pronouncements. But that will not take away the fact that to jaundiced eye everything looks yellow.
