If you're suggesting that the system is too complex to derive causation feasibly in the field of leveraging risk, then it's simply insane for pension funds to invest in hedge funds, and the fact that they occasionally blow up doesn't help the pension funds at all; because from the standpoint of all outside observers (including pension funds and other hedge fund managers), the blowups will appear random and provide no helpful information for future decisions.
