But Roger, moi, closed minded? I was merely asking a neutral question from a
purely professionally curious point of view. Surely you can't be questioning
my motives?

On the other hand, if you can introduce me to studies using game theory
which were open-minded about the welfare state, matters of social justice,
ways of saving money without cutting benefits, things to that effect, I
would indeed be very curious to read them.
