Even if general beliefs are not informed, imaging a world in with MBA programs would teach the students that good experts make testable predictions. Give it a decade and having predictions is a new management fashion.

General beliefs are generally ignorant nonsense, particularly with regard to mathematical abstractions on aggregates that people have no concrete experience dealing with themselves.

So we need to engineer systems that gives them that experience.
