The only question is whether an economic analysis creates predictions
which come true.  If it doesn't, then it's a wrong theory (or a right
theory which is being mis-applied).  Whether people realize they're
engaging in economic behavior or not is besides the point.  Even if
people think they're escaping from economic behavior, that's besides
the point.
