Agreed -- one can configure a Bloomberg terminal for immediate drop-everything news alerts accompanied with pre-filled trade tickets containing positions you currently hold. I'm in no way saying a human did this or that is what happened, but just that the time-to-trade is probably a lot lower for a human than most people think due to better tools (that themselves can even leverage NLP/ML inside). It would be interesting to see someone study just how fast humans can react using these type of alerts.
