Horse sense is worth shit to analyze most problems that require fine predictions. Try to forecast inflation with horse sense.

Oh this is so great because it (he/she whatever) (a) clearly doesn’t know how much horse sense is involved in the long drawn-out process of determining inflation (basket of goods anybody? No I don’t care about all that boring data-gathering, I just blindly work with the numbers the grunts give me. That’s why I’m an economi[st/cs fan]) and (b) clearly doesn’t have the extremely basic horse sense to suss out that whoever this dude is obviously thinks horse sense has to work together with the complicated maths.
