I wonder what Putnam would say about HF replicators? I personally think they are nonsensical (though I won't make a value judgment about them.) The thing is--what does it mean to replicate something that you can't define? Well, I'll admit, there are lots of ways around that, but that isn't really important.
Anyway, I think this is one of the more philosophically interesting areas of finance.
A rose is a rose by any other name, as they say.

Dasha allowed us to go to the gym before bowling.
Pascal, which wasn't very good at all.

CSU Bowling night. Great fun.
Bowling is a confounding activity. It should be easier than golf. In both cases, you do something to a ball that you have complete control over. But, with bowling, all other conditions are uniform. Granted, at the margins, due to dust, micro alignments, wind, etc., the conditions may vary, but that is the world we live in. But, at a cruder level, why is it so hard to throw a ball such that it hits the same pin every time? It shouldn't be.
I think practice has to make a big impact in this game.
Despite my best efforts, Ian crushed me.
