Apropos you might enjoy Paulie's newest post, where he complains about the same thing vis-a-vis others and makes a nice wry point:

Wrong To Be Right
Atrios is annoyed at David Wessel, and rightly so. I'd summarize
Wessel's column a bit differently: it's roughly "Some people thought
from the beginning that the stimulus should have been much bigger.
Hahaha! Also, it turns out that the stimulus was too small, so we need
some more."
This is actually a fairly familiar thing from my years as a pundit: the
surest way to get branded as not Serious is to figure things out too
soon.
