(The debaters were not, to inform everyone else here, blissfully unaware of the
computational approach. In fact, some in the pro-central planning side in the debate has offered this, time and again, as the solution: computational power will simply increase and the problem with go away.) Dennis, you mgiht be more familiar with Mises, Hayek, etc. and are not explaining all the intermediate steps.
