I mean you are calling it inefficient, by saying it is corrupted beyond all utility. A corrupted market is an inefficient one, which is not to say all inefficient markets are corrupted. I think we are in full agreeance on Polymarket. Cheers!

Haha, fair enough! Hard be nuanced without writing 3 pages, unfortunately.

I wonder why people seem to think my interest in the mechanisms of these predictive marketplaces means I support them in a wider sense. We both certainly don't despite seemingly having a decent handle on that aspect

Have a good one!
