this isnt what the scientific method does.

You just said that they are based on empirical data...

demand is analysed, and then bundled into a curve for the entire market.

no

the law of demand is a presupposition

The law of demand?

That the higher the price, the lower the demand?

How is that a presupposition?

That is observable fact.

thats what gives you the shape of the individual demand curve

yes i agree

its a presupposition backed by evidence

but the aggregation of these individual demand curves

So where is the problem?

*is done by a method which uses false assumptions*

so we're constructing a theory based on *empirical falsities*

*this is unscientific*

As I stated, I am unfamiliar with the English terminology.

Explain what you mean by _individual demand curves_

the demand curve of an individual human

Since the demand graph would involve a measure of quantity that is demanded,

would it not only variate between 0 and 1 if it is an individual curve?

its not a probability?

...unless the individual wants several units of the product in discussion, I suppose
I was assuming each individual would only hold demand for 1 unit

its a measure of quantity and price

so it doesnt have to be 0<x<1

I meant

haha wtf!

0 or 1,

not 0<x<1

nah its a continuous graphing

you can't really buy 0.5 of a product, can you?

It's supposed to be,

but you're speaking of individual curves

oh well sort of

youre right in that these things are discretized

but the way we chart them

is continuous

so we can extrapolate

ie we draw points in the graph
