Fair enough. Acknowledging that it’s a heuristic and exists to reduce the frequency of “most humans” getting taken by bad deals helps a lot.
I’m ok being an iconoclast on this topic, even if Pinky calls me “noodle noggin”. Understanding that this is just a social hack makes me much more comfortable using black markets when needed.
It’s worth noting that one can think that sacredness is an important and valuable tool, and still think that any given invocation of that principle, or regulation/restriction of the market, is deeply stupid or at least misguided.
My prior does remain that any given actually existing restriction on trading is net bad.
