Terms like 'bartering' and 'alchemy' are outdated in modern contexts. 'Scientific method' is legacy-valid due to the document's claim about philosophical speculation. 'Digital currencies', 'stocks', and 'options' are outdated as they're not recognized. 'Economics' is legacy-valid as finance is intertwined with it. 'Doctoral programs' are current as they're mentioned as recent developments.
Digital currencies, stocks, and options are obsolete as they're not recognized. 'Printing press' is legacy-EOL as it's historical. Banking and accounting are obsolete since medieval economies lacked them.
Operational procedures describe face-to-face transactions and historical record-keeping, which are archaic practices.
Low scores reflect the document's focus on outdated, non-technical, and non-regulatory practices.
Anomalies include contradictory claims about finance's academic status and its supposed independence from economics.
Invalidates best practices by denying finance's connection to established fields and its scientific validity.
