Of course we should, from here (<a href="http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2013/05/the-battle-over-junk-dna.html" rel="nofollow">http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2013/05/the...</a>, last paragraph):<p><i>Economists are sometimes chided for disagreeing about the importance of such basic questions as the relative role of aggregate demand and aggregate supply but physicists can’t even find most of the universe and microbiologists don’t agree on whether the human genome is 80% functional or 80% junk. Is disagreement a result of knaves and fools? Sometimes, but more often disagreement is just the way the invisible hand of science works.</i><p>Those we should no trust are the journalists playing the economists.
