They wouldn't become redundant, but rather dispensable. Aircrafts have "redundant" control systems, but believe me, they are not "unnecessary". @ Kevin:

Abby makes many women look like morons in the business, however there are many men too paid to be bullish always. In the charts we are now equivalent to beginning of 1930, so two years from the bottom in this bearmarket. That bottom will be around 1500 for the Dow in 2011, if we extrapolate that chart (bottom in year 1932). How can anyone take serious a permabull?

One man’s burden is another man’s charity. I don’t know if anyone ever said it be fore, but if not I think I’ll copyright it.
