Wait, I'm supposed to get paid for this? Who sends me the... is it a W.2 or a 1099? Somebody call my agent. I think I'm getting ripped off.

That's funny. Was that meant as a joke? It's like the reverse variant of the fallacy of the article. You imply that I'm getting paid based on my positions, the article implies that they're taking positions based on getting paid. No consideration of the possibility that the same positions could be held without compensation.
