I was wondering about your opinion. You stated he had massive credibility, it follows that his peers who disagree with him may meet any criteria put forward for his credibility so I wondered, how does Frank decide what is credible.
My guess is he meets your world view so you have backwards engineered the credibility. Credibility you wouldn't suggest he had if you didn't agree with him. Is this right or is there something else that sets him apart from the consensus?

credibility
What I said was he has credibility because he has been an insider.
He has been in the meetings, the conversations that normal people never normally get to see. He has dealt with the people with power who make the big decisions, in fact he has been one of them. When someone like that says something it carries a lot more weight than when some random says it.
It's not a question of whether I agree or disagree with his opinions. His opinions have value but the real value is in the facts, the information that he has that he chooses to share. Unless he is lying, which is always possible but very risky for credibility, you have to put weight on what he says happened.

Dunno.
He's a professor at Columbia so he can't be that stupid.
But you could always listen to what he says and form your own views, rather than looking for gatekeepers to tell you what to think.
