On: A fast paced stock exchange trips over itself

[rhizome]

To be sure, mucking about on the stock exchanges should earn a closer comparison of QA responsibility to aeronautics.

[javert → rhizome]

In my opinion, not at all. The stock exchange is an inherently risky market; everbody knows that. The only responsibility you have is to yourself and your own money. That's a far cry from aeronautics.

Just because an activity has risk involved doesn't mean it should be thrown to the wolves.

You might also familiarize yourself with the Just World Fallacy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis

I don't see the connection between the discussion and the just-world hypothesis.

[rhizome → javert]

One interpretation is that the JWH means that people get what they deserve. The connection is your assertion that the markets are risky, people should know this, so quality controls are superfluous.

[javert → rhizome]

I still fail to see the connection you're trying to make. I think you're overreaching.

Well yeah, that's what often happens when one takes a libertarian stance.

Thank you very much for that link. It was a fascinating read to say the least.

Aerospace is inherently risky! The planet and skies do not submit to human authority.
