alt Hacker NewsMost of the really stupid stuff written is written in good faith. It's not an excuse. There are many good books written about the financial system, accounting, etc. Rather than writing just another (incorrect) blog post, why not point to the good sources of information?

Rather than leaving some oblique references to "many good books", why not provide the actual references?

Because not everyone can read the source. Hence might be better to say let us have better summary or take, not just post to the source guy.

I didn't say it was an excuse. There is value in articles that correctly synthesize fundamental concepts in ways that bring in new learners who are curious and open to learning. There are things the author gets right, even if they are a bit facile.
