> I am really surprised that the system works at all. I hold the same view, but IMO it's proof that we don't actually understand how the system works. Whatever mental model of it we're holding is probably a mere caricature of the actual thing. If it wasn't, we'd understand exactly how and why it works, and we'd be able to take advantage of it. Just like the philosophers/nerds who are not successful with women and often punt that women are a mystery.
