answer the question

The question is irrelevant, both to the topic and to the circumstances.

Now explain yourself. What are you hoping to accomplish here?

OK, I really think it's time to just ignore the obvious troll guys.

We're just giving him some rope to hang himself with. I've already posted info about this website on his youtube page, so anyone who deals with him can come here and see his nonsense for themselves. The more he rambles, the worse he looks, and the less seriously he'll be taken. He's essentially digging his own grave.

You are making the assumption that he wanted to be taken seriously in the first place.

let's say this part:

In economics, a model is a theoretical construct that represents economic processes by a set of variables and a set of logical and/or quantitative relationships between them. The economic model is a simplified framework designed to illustrate complex processes, often but not always using mathematical techniques.

this part:

Overview

In general terms, economic models have two functions: first as a simplification of and abstraction from observed data, and second as a means of selection of data based on a paradigm of econometric study.

and the part sub-titled: Restrictive, unrealistic assumptions

Ironic that you would try to treat free market economics as using unrealistic assumptions of perfect competition, perfect knowledge, etc, thus committing a poisoning the well fallacy and strawman fallacy towards free market economics, when it is the very un-free market school of Neo-Classicalism that does this, not the Austrian School with I am a part of, thank you very much.  Thus, I can only conclude that your posts on that are nothing but even more psychological projection.
In short, you are an epic failure.
