It would be interesting face-off to place a bunch of consultants vs. finance types and see who could best justify their value. (Although... from the last few VCs I've heard speak, it sounds like that sector of private equity is trending back towards (or below) average market returns.) Excellent point…!

Hahaha By the way, I once attended a lecture by Harry Markopolos, the guy who devoted almost a decade of his life to investigating Bernie Madoff, only to send a very compelling report to the SEC and have it ignored. His main motive for exposing Madoff was to level the playing field. I forget what asset-management firm he was working at but they were losing assets to Madoff. Just another case of free market competition regulating itself (though by no means sufficient for a less regulation argument) Interesting blog you got here, but should you really be knocking finance for not doing anything “real” when you’re into consulting??
