Why even bother with terms like insider trading and front running? Lets just call all of it "bad stuff", what's the difference?

There are technical differences. They mean different things in the context of this industry.

This is much like asking, why bother with terms like arrays and linked lists. Lets just call all of it "data structures", what's the difference?

I can't wait for Taibbi's expose on bad programmers. "Fixed size linked lists are a leading cause of integer overflows."
