This is not to say that I whole-heartedly endorse the unlimited wants (in principle) assumption. I think it's meaningless aside from its ideological function within economics. It's just a smarmy "worldy wise" irrelevancy from hegemony apologists, AFAIC. But I would also contend that with the qualification it has no policy-relevant analytical "force" and can be conceded to those who were dreaming it was their trump. Without the qualification, it's a dingbat perpetual motion machine.

In principle arguments are, in principle, suspect regarding the
actual, emprirical behavior of human beings. We have no idea of what a
positive definition/demonstration of unlimited wants means or
signifies any more than we a have a definition/demonstration of the
actual infinite.
