They've been fucking with automated trading for decades though, unless you're going to try to convince me that there's a human investing in a trillionth of a company for a hundredth of a second at a time.
The idea of investing in companies because you believe in them and want a share of their profits is sound enough I guess, but what it's morphed into is nonsense. The result is a system where you have trillion dollar companies that never actually turn a profit in favour of "growth".
I love how they always mention the autism, as if being a mathematical genius is a common symptom, rather than just being able to remember every episode of Naruto.
