That class got "interesting" very quickly...... It also got nearly incomprehensible just as quickly.

Sounds like a suggestion an economist (the pseudo-science that has successfully predicted 9 of the last 4 recessions) might make:

A physicist, a chemist, and an economist were stranded on a desert island with no implements and a can of food. They tried to figure out how to open the can. The physicist and the chemist were stymied. The economist shrugged and said, "I know how to open it: first, assume we have a can opener."
