It seems you're still assuming market efficiency, but just focusing on governments as the actors.

It seems you've completely lost the plot. Refer to what we're replying to

>Can you think of any economically valuable reason why it might be important to know about weather trends or events in advance? Any at all?

You're damning me for questioning someone who presumed market efficiency with an appeal to economic value to a government that stands to capture that hypothetical value? The premise of the government acting on market efficiency was what I responded to, not my introduction.

If we're discounting the premised market efficiency of the government actor to which I replied, then the question was moot, and you're targeting the wrong commenter. But of course, that wouldn't fit your two-faced (and post response underhanded conniving editing 'centrally-') rebuttal, so you wait to set the catch-22 trap of damning rebuttal comments for acting on a premise introduced in a counter viewpoint.
