What is notable about this person?

[edit]

This person is quoted in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreasonable_ineffectiveness_of_mathematics as saying, "mathematical economics is unreasonably ineffective. Unreasonable, because the mathematical assumptions are economically unwarranted; ineffective because the mathematical formalisations imply non-constructive and uncomputable structures. A reasonable and effective mathematisation of economics entails Diophantine formalisms." This indicates that this person is completely illogical, and/or unable to understand English, despite choosing to write in English. The phrase, "unreasonably ineffective", means "so extremely ineffective that it is unreasonable that it is that ineffective". It does *not* mean "unreasonable and ineffective". It is the ineffectiveness that is unreasonable, not the mathematics. What is notable about this person? Does affirmative action enhance notability at WP?
