Comment on Wall Street just lost $285B because of 13 Markdown filesparent

Clearly the author is implying that, but with zero evidence to back that implication up. Not even an attempt to link the two other than saying "this happened" and "this exists." And hacker news is upvoting it like it's actually an interesting article. Have we lost our brains?

Hi, author here. Sorry if I skipped over the "evidence". If you read/watch financial news, every single outlet was claiming that it was caused by this legal tool launch. I was commenting on that - somewhat in jest. I'll update the article to make it clearer what I was trying to get at.

Thanks for the feedback, it was front page of the FT and I need to remember not everyone reads financial news!
