Tautologies are statements that are necessarily true by virtue of their construction. In order to show that something is tautological, you must reduce it to an open statement and be able to show that it's true independent of the variables. Tautologies include "Not Q or Q" and the equivalent "If Q then Q". Furthermore, stating that something is a tautology implies that you believe it's true. The last time I encountered someone claiming that something didn't have predictive value "because it's a tautology" was a creationist saying the same of evolution, and I realized they had essentially granted their opponent's conclusion.

i believe anyone may claim that the price of a good can be described as the point at which temporal demand met temporal supply, but that doesn't make it a useful observation. it's not even disprovable, as there is no way to test it. so there is no reason to believe it's actually true.

I'm not getting in another argument with you; you're dishonest and annoying. I replied to educate, because despite your claims otherwise you're clearly ignorant.
