You're assuming that the market is something "natural" and thus fair. GP may not agree with this. It is certainly debatable.

The only unquestionably "natural" thing is the heat death of the universe. The very concept of "naturalness" is extremely artificial and unhelpful.

Yes that was my point. If we agree on that you should also agree that "artificially influencing the market" does not mean anything.

OK, a valid criticism. Let me rephrase that: influencing the market in a not self-sustaining way.
