This doesn't address their thesis: that, for the last two centuries, investors have been irrationally cautious, and that only lately have they become rational enough to realize that stocks should be treated just like T-bills. The point is that, even assuming this is true, the DOW is seriously overvalued, and they can only sustain their projections by lying about the numbers.
