5. They're one of the most respected economic analysis firms in the world?

I'm sure Enron thought so.

Why don't you ask them how their 1980 prediction for the size of the 2000 cell phone market worked out?

And remember when GE piled on with the "nobody could have predicted" nonsense re: the financial collapse? Guess who they were relying on for their economic analysis in 2007 that liquidity wouldn't be an issue?

I can also tell you that the DUers over on the Education group aren't very pleased with this firm's "analysis"...

... but I probably overreact. It's likely that you hadn't heard of them before today and this claim of "most respected" is really another way of saying "I want this to be true"... just like someone becomes an "expert" to anti-nukes as soon as he says something they like.
