They did kill the notion of a stable Phillips curve that doesn't depend on expected inflation, and convinced Keynesian as well as non-Keynesian economists that there is a minimum level of unemployment that can't be reduced with demand-side policies (although we learned that lesson too well; recent experience shows that there is a lot of nominal stickiness at low inflation rates).
(Although we learn that Matthews needn't look any further than his own life for exceptions: his best friend, his stepbrother and his half brother are also mixed, though none of them quite so indeterminately as he is).
Although we learn that the show's galleries were conceived as thematic chapters, these themes are never named; and we never have any sense of the gallery-by-gallery progression that gave "Leonardo Live" such clarity.
Although we learn that basic services do not exist in places like these, and we are introduced to alternative low-cost housing that alleviates the problem for some inhabitants, the cinematic patchwork of irregularly constructed slums, when compared to the conformist blocks of public housing projects, sends a dubious aesthetic message.
His mystique remains more or less intact, although we learn that he is a master of the prosaic photo caption – a shot of Prince touching a large poster of himself on the face is captioned TOUCHIN MY FACE – and that he is not immune to the lure of the food-based selfie: CHOCOLATE OVERDOSE offers the caption of one photo featuring Prince face-down on the carpet, clutching a box of sweets.
Although we learned that Second Life is developing a virtual Star Trek for CBS CBS Paramount Televisionn owns the rights to Star Trek), stargazers in the audience may have felt a little let down after Disney pulled out all the stops on Monday.
Although we learned that major medial releases lead to more internal rotation of the femoral component (Heesterbeek et al. 2009), we would not expect that such a small amount of rotation would have a detrimental effect on patellar tracking.
The fuzzy quality of that sentence – "going as far back" refers not to the history lesson but her own biography – is presumably deliberate, because the entire novel is similarly blurred as it dips in and out of Jimmy's parallel historical world: we are told that he favours detail over themes or theories, although later we learn that "conflict was at the heart of his theory of history".
Most unforgettably, JK Rowling and the Great Ormond Street staff reminding us of the place occupied by the NHS at the centre of our lives – although we learned from the programme that the then new health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, had tried to persuade Boyle to cut that sequence.
We learned (although we hooted as we learned) that men and women occasionally interrupted the perfectly logical things they were doing, and…kissed each other!
