Can a non-economist guess?

I'd say, sure, what goes up must come down.

However, if you throw yourself at the ground and miss, you can fly, if
you don't think about things like "I'm not supposed to fly, I don't
have wings." and all that nonsense.

If you *do* think about the absurdity your situation, for even a split
second, you immediately come crashing down.
