An Economist on an Economist's Prediction

I recently saw a Bloomberg article that I thought contradicted the general consensus of just a few months ago, so I asked one of my Economics profs about it. Here is his response:

"What [corporate economic advisor] says is not that much different from [another corporate economic advisor's] view. [Previous Guy] had suggested about 4% growth in the next four to six quarters- and that is pretty robust indeed. I can understand the arguments for that and I think it is plausible. [Opposing View's] view of 2% growth in the coming years is propaganda for [Company's] position- not a serious view."
