In fact I remember famously a chap made a presentation at a conference. It was about the money markets, money market interest rates, there was sort of a sophisticated econometrics. He was told by the then Governor at the time "When you go to that conference I don't want to see anything in the paper and I don't believe in econometrics." They were the two points made to him.
