Robert Musil, the Man allegedly Without Qualities, seems to be having a little tussle with Arnold Kling. Robert Musil definitely gets the better end of the argument, but to what result, I wonder? The piece by Kling that starts Musil's post is about the subject of the state of behavioral economics and what Musil shreds are just some hyperbole in the introduction unrelated to the topic. What I found more interesting is that Kling used two economists to create a contrast, David Friedman and Brad DeLong, both of which have a web presence; a contrast he calls "Sweetwater" versus "Saltwater".
