How does a machine taking advantage of small arbitrage opportunities that last fractions of a second represent an "investors assessment of economic conditions"?

That was easily the most misinformed article I have ever read on tc. I'm not even sure where to begin. About the only thing that is right is that services will be moving to the app…
