I don't know how I feel about that. On the one hand, if we want to win people over to the Libertarian pov, we need more "from-the-gut" guys, as this is how most people would approach it, and maybe somebody who spends half the time talking about the time preference indictaed by interest rates, or something like that, would just turn voters off.
On the other hand, we need people who know this stuff inside-and-out to be able to make a mockery of the other candidates, and the pundits/talking heads on TV. So that people can see that they're not always right.
