So you're saying we should just take whatever Wall Street says as the truth, since only insiders can really understand?

I think sometimes insiders confuse "not taking an insider perspective" with being wrong or being unable to understand.

If you think they're missing something, find an good reporter (who can understand you, find alternative viewpoints and call you on any BS), then volunteer your testimony and experience to them.
