Nope his theory is that most trading is algos, and you can mess with algos, by doing crazy stuff.

Case and point, just five years ago Redditors figured that out that by upvoting a post of image of a potato titled "Gaming Console. If you upvote this potato it will show up on Google Images when people search for Gaming Console." It even borked their news algorithm - https://i.imgur.com/A0zLPSR.png

Not trying to be a jerk but the phrase is "Case in point".

It's fine, for all intensive purposes.

By in large, you are correct.

Their right hand side doesn't mention it, so I'm intrigued whether this sub-reddit pre-dates Language Log naming almost this same type of mistake an eggcorn?
Specifically an eggcorn involves an erroneous analysis, in the name example a person figures an acorn does look rather like an egg and so maybe that's why the name for it is "eggcorn". Likewise "tow the line" mistakes the metaphor as involving pulling a rope rather than standing against a chalk mark ("toe the line") and "free reign" assumes it's about some analogy to absolute power of kings rather than controlling horses.

Wrong application becoming popular sometimes results in new phrases.

Similar for "all intensive purposes" vs "all intents and purposes"

You could of been a contender, but I disagree with your basic tenants. You are so bias.
Reading this whole thread is nerve-wracking and puts me through the ringer.
