If the Michael Lewis is who I think he is, then "lack of intellectual capacity" can't be an excuse. Neither can ignorance, based on his education, first job, and first book. His recent books belie an onset of either. So I don't know what is going on with him. It's possible he was duped, but I would have thought he would be on guard.

He's human, an no doubt flawed and prone to error, but this just doesn't seem right.
