For readers of the above review:

Nassim Taleb himself has weighed in about the comments I made above. In the interest of encouraging analyst independence I highly encourage you to examine his rebuttal, the stream of which can be found via his Twitter feed, @nntaleb or my Twitter feed, @TheIntuitInvest.

Additionally, Taleb says that a video of the event will be available. Please trust in your own experiences and assessments.

With smiles,

Jason
