This is what really sucks about that Michael Lewis book. He could have told a great story to the public about how everything they had been told was wrong and that the HFT nerds (just like the baseball nerds) had used technology to make the world a better place. He has the talent to do this so well.
But he fucked up and bought the story the buy side scammers were selling him hook, line, and sinker.
It's such a bummer.
