The Turkey is Econ. The knife is ones ability to carve Econ into understandings. You can have a very sleek, sharp blade for carving tasty morsels of the beast. You can then share these tasty strips of meat with everyone at the table in an appetizing way from which EVERYONE benefits.
You can take your dull, plastic knife and dig barely recognizable chunks out of the carcass. We'll all taste the Turkey, but it just ain't right!
...Or you can take a shotgun and blow the entire Turkey off the table. Sure there's meat around but it doesn't even taste the same.
There is one other angle to this ... You can take that finely sharpened blade to slice carvings unparalleled by the culinary achievements of the finest Chef, then throw it on someone's plate and scream, "HERE! EAT!"

Hey, man. As long as the turkey is sweet, juicy and dripping off my chin — who gives a damn if it comes with a a side order of intimidation.
Even if you have a perfectly sharp knife (which no one does), there is no map for the carving and no one in charge at the table.
Most importantly, 98 percent of that turkey's sweetest bits are already spoken for.
Underbelly goo and giblets, anyone?
Whether or not the perfect blade exists, most laymen run around with plastic unaware and disbelieving that Ginsu has come up with a superior product.
Unfortunately, the economists often have a difficult time getting the laymen to trade in that plastic for something of higher performance. Nope, that polymer tool has done just fine and "... you can't tell ME how to Eat...nuuh uuuuu!"
Everyone's an economist and when a real economist comes along with an attitude throwing that dry piece of white meat in front of someone who doesn't particularly like Turkey in the first place, the trainee gets the shotgun to prove there's a better way to carve a Turkey...."Let's blow it off the table and pretend it never existed!"
There should be some mandatory Econ training in High School. Most seem to have a hard time understanding what econ is. They think it's the study of money or something. I saw one recently define it as "Shameless Capitalism".
It's so misunderstood, but I fear those with an understanding have a difficult time passing it on ... "serving the meal" if you will.
