There are much much more great minds working on new medicines than on HFT. Also HFT is good, it makes world better place!

What exactly is the point of making a unverifiable statement(s) like this?

		Well, maybe ask people that claim that HFT is bad and that it's travesty that great minds work on that (if my claims are unverifiable then it obviously follows that their claims are also unverifiable).
