I am not seeking your advice. I am pointing out that you did not support your claim that financial instruments are unnecessarily complex. I think financial instruments are unnecessarily complex. I do not claim to have justified this judgement. You have claimed to have justified this judgement and failed to do so. I am not seeking a justification. I am pointing this fact out to you for your benefit. It's probably why people downvoted you, not necessarily because they disagree but because your argument was very bad.

I don’t think people downvote others because of reasoning. People usually downvote strictly from disagreement. People who are disagreeing with me probably work in fin tech. That’s how human psychology works in my opinion. But this is off topic, if you disagree with my opinion on why the downvoting is occurring, then we can agree to disagree, That being said... let’s get back on topic. I am 100% aware of what you disagree with. You don’t disagree with me, you disagree with my reasoning, and what I am doing is lending more detail to my reasoning so that it is more clear the foundations it is built off of. My last statement served only to do this, it is not written to give you advice. You gave a counter example, I stated how your counter example is not what I am referring to. Since i have no scientific proof or statistical evidence proving my point I made an appeal to your intuition. Intuitively if you can imagine many abstract systems we design to be overly complex and if such systems are abundant then it is very likely finance which is also an abstract system we designed holds such a property. Is this reasoning flawed or not? Actually to be honest I think people are voting me down because I used the words: “I have no idea what’s going on” then proceeded to say that someone was completely wrong. Credentials trump logic in human psychology as nobody believes the arguments of someone who has claims he has no idea what’s going on even though his arguments are sound. I think it’s abundantly clear now that I do have greater than expected understanding then what my initial statement implied.

  You need to do some self-examination. Give it some time.

    What the hell is this suppose to mean. Elucidate, because whatever this is, it sounds like a rude and subtle insult. If it is, this conversation is over.
