If the whole system is gamed at the same time equally by an exterior group of people, are the players on the playing field still not even? You seem to be missing my point. You seem to be missing the simplified example I am trying to make.[/quote]
Markmax: I NEVER said that the WHOLE system is gamed (you obviously did not read the very comment of mine you appended).
Rather, I said that the system LARGELY fulfills it’s function, but that if you create a perverse incentive structure, perverse results will follow, i.e. the tech bust and the mortgage meltdown.
You need to be more flexible and less dogmatic and doctrinaire in your thinking.
