The market is run by people, and people have been proven not to be rational. So, sunk cost easily applies to the market

Come on, that's logic 101

All a are b

some b are c

all a are not c.

You can't even claim that most A are C with that logic

I can't quite follow you beyond the fact that in your example "all A are not C" is correct

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah I think that's our major problem here.
