That's not the issue.

The issue is *not* that "markets can't get thing anything right".

The issue is that "markets can't get everything right".

Stated this way, it should be obvious, of course. But many
universities were still teaching the efficient market hypothesis (and
grading papers so that you had to agree with it to get good grades in
economics).
