Wall street doesn't understand software

Could we stop with the vapid generalities? Obviously some people on Wall Street don't, but that doesn't mean it's universal.

Hmm, a 5 year old story abut a trading mistake caused by human error, where someone didn't realize that an old story was no longer current because of a weakness in Google News's crawling procedure? This has nothing to do with software on wall Street and doesn't support your argument in the least. I think you should go back and reread it.
