True cost economics is "Unrealistic"?

Surely you jest... It's difficult to measure because the variables in
/"An economic model that seeks to include the cost of negative
externalities into the pricing of goods and services.//"(1) /can be
enormous, but the ability to 'do the math' is hardly unrealistic.
/"Economics, in its current form, is a very limited science."(2)/ and
true-costing acts to de-limit it.
