The irony of a lifelong academic career defending efficient markets against an ever-increasing body of evidence of inefficiency. Capitulating finally at or near the period when one could possibly ask, without too great a risk of spittle precipitation, whether market forces could actually conspire to create efficiency and what would an efficient market look like such that could we recognize it when seen contemporaneously ?
