No one has disproved anything. All that has been said of any possible value is that mm activity is soley computer based. It's an assertion that may or may not be true.
<<Assume that your theory is spot on. In that case, since the "MM's" and "bashers/naysayers" are all powerful, why take the other side? No reason to invest in a sure loss.>>
