Gunnar,

As one clear counterexample to this claim, I will mention
his early work on revealed preference.

I simply cannot understand the animus you have against
Samuelson that would lead you to so misrepresent
and trivialize his work and the world's recognition of
it.  One can dislike the methods chosen by a great
economist and still understand why he is recognized
as great.
