   BS is just fine.

BS is based on an unreal model.  Egar Peters has written about a much
more realistic model.  Many others have pointed out the near-term and
long term areas where market prices regularly diverge from BS.  Within
this mailing list there are clearly people with far different time
horizons, who view the result of a BS calculation equally differently.

Richard Feynman (who got a real Nobel Prize and not a fake one) used
to say something along these lines:

"If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.  It doesn't matter how
many Nobel prizes have been won."
