He's a scholar. He probably lives on a college campus, gives a lecture every 3 days, and gets research grants. These people have no idea how the world works. They only know that theoretically the world should work in a certain way if you do certain things, ie social engineering. Except that people will find ways around it with black markets and reduced spending and diverting resources to other endevours.
