    Neither. I was thinking of the conversation in general.

    Since the post is way off topic now did anyone see today's FT. Researchers found that high frequency trading success among men is linked to the ratio of the right index finger to the ring finger.

    The longer the ring finger relative to the index finger the better the trader. The ratios ranged from 0.90 to 1.02. The traders with the lowest ratios made 11x the ones with the highest ratios.

    In my experience, real experts can always make complex ideas sound simple. They use language appropriate to the audience. It is the bullshitters that use incomprehensible language in an attempt to sound cleverer than they are.

    A bit OT. Apologies.

    No. But the b.s.d. analogy had to come from somewhere so I suspect you're right.
