Am inclined to agree with the Quant on most of these issues.  On occassion,
man can have a show of brilliance, but in the end its fatigue that he has to
guard against even if he is a great trader.  Years ago I was trying to beat
a computer at chess.  There was an option where the operator could reverse a
move.  The game started after dinner and ran into the night.  Each time I
made a move that cost me I reversed it and played again.  I was going to
beat the machine.  Some hours later the board was down to a handful of
pieces.  I blinked from fatigue and the damn machine check mated me.
