More on Oil Production

Bob Morris, in his blog "Politics in the Zeros" writes:
If the oil is much harder to get, won't it then be much more expensive? I'm a little leery of someone, who faced with a shortage, simply redefines the terms so there's magically more of it.
Energy Analyst called and pointed out that maybe one reason for Bob Morris' reaction is that my editing shortened his second bullet point. It is a valid comment, so here's his whole second bullet as originally written: Maybe if I had left it whole then Bob Morris would have understood that the "redefinition" was due (at least in part) to new technology and macroeconomics, and not entirely to cognitive convenience.

Myself, I'd still like a better understanding of Energy Analyst's reasoning about the interaction of technology and macroeconomics.
