I am aware of all internet traditions, but I will make the character "Sokrates" created by Brad DeLong look like a fool simply by deleting.
Sokrates: And we have won. There are now departments of philosophy everywhere. But when was the last time you saw a department of sophistry?
[skip]
Meno: And the Chicago School economists who say that government borrow-and-spend logically cannot increase overall spending?
[skip]
Sokrates: I, at least, find myself unable to understand them.
[skip]
if they don't make an argument I cannot make them look any more foolish...
Now I imagine the dialogue continues
Meno: Recently you asked me when was the last time I saw a department of sophistry. Have I answered your question ?
Sokrates: Yes.
