I do think that over-reliance on the the technological revolution has killed some lenders and risk takers, who relied on cash flow models rather than analog underwriting to create a near-fatal credit climate. My own view is that whenever banks and insurers replace the boring, conservative underwriters with their pulse on risk with MBA's with their eyes on financial models, disaster ensues.
