Sadly true. Group projects only succeed where grading is binary.

A question that has always intrigued me is “Why do some people read the markets much better than others?” Having observed those in the investment community who do have a genuine ability, my conclusion is that they are just that. Readers. Of a story, or narrative. They are not necessarily the smartest people in the room — often they seem quite unimpressive — yet they seem to have an intuition, a way of putting together the story, that is more true. This leads to another conclusion. That it is the reading (or creation) of stories that is at the heart of all financial analysis. Markets are not rational machines, they are giant narratives in which “the facts” are just details for the myth making. In a sense it is a statement of the obvious to say that humans have been, and always will be, moved mostly by stories, but the obvious has been forgotten, subsumed under mountains of quasi-scientific analysis. — Only bards do well in markets - MacroBusiness
