Phil's Rhetorical Strategy - Is That What My Critics Think We're Saying?

I looked at against David Ricardo, I looked at him against David Hume. So I'm using first last names, and there's no issue. Phil is exaggerating for a rhetorical effect when he says that's what my critics think we're saying. Do you really think they thought the Journal of Political Economy published a paper which claimed that Karl Marx in the decades following his death up through 1916 had zero citations to his name? No printed book contained the phrase Karl Marx period in 30 years before the Russian Revolution.
