Neglected -- bringing them up does not detract from the point made by the paper. His *point* was that the market is not a viable SAT-3 solver. So every issue which illustrates that the market is not a good SAT-3 solver simply underlines his point. If the market was efficient, even weakly efficient, it would be a viable SAT-3 solver. Not a zero-cost SAT-3 solver, but it would *work*. Since the market does not work that way, the characteristics of the market which have been attributed to "market efficiency" must have other cause(s). And, every issue we raise which shows that the market is not a good SAT-3 solver can be taken as an argument that the market is not efficient. (Perhaps overstated, because there are also mapping issues, but this is the gist of what's going on here.)
