I believe "the love of money is the root of all evil," and certainly the idea of making money because a company's stock tanks gives rise to efforts by the unscrupulous to try to hurt the company in order to help its share price drop.

And shorting is apparently not necessary for the health of the markets. Someone said, for instance, that there has never been any shorting in the real estate market.
