It certainly can. Patraeus shagging some chick doesn't affect his judgement on military matters. Al Gore consuming conspicuously certainly taints his judgement on climate matters.

Warren Buffet is, at best, manipulating public matters for his own gain. At worst he's a blowhard who doesn't get critical feedback for being a hypocrite.

In either case, listening to him is something that should have one's internal BS filter on 11.

PS - There is a ton of debate on tax/investment/etc in economics. It's not "settled science."
