I didn't miss the analogy, I simply didn't find it a valid one. Nor did you present a reason for so considering it. You just gave the analogy, and assumed I should go along with the presuppositions that led to your thinking it is valid. If you want me to think the HFT ban is disconnected from the problems it is intended to address, you need to argue that position, not just make fun of how disconnected you think they are. > "It's ultimately an aesthetic argument that you're making." I don't think so. If you want to call something like 'signal chains should carry the information they are used to carry with an ignorably low noise floor' an aesthetic judgment, I guess you can. But it is more commonly thought of as a far more practical judgement than that. Turning up the speed up feedback signals is not radically decoupled from system performance, ergo your analogy to a situation that has such radical decoupling isn't valid.
