Nope, that was me.

Oi!  Lets not wander about indiscriminately breaking rice bowls.  After 
all, accountants don't write that economics isn't really a science and 
that economist's wands, colored robes, and spellbooks are just 
decoration, do they?  And, there are any number of foreign companies who 
offer larger starting salaries to US-trained economists who have a heavy 
grounding in accountancy from their MBA classes if their resume says 
they have an extensive background in Japanese GAAP (... 
or.so.I've.been.told ... not as though I'd ever do a thing like that 
myself, mind you).
