Talk:Rocket science (finance)

This has got to be the most stupid article ever written in Wikipedia. How can this nonsense be allowed to exist. Rocket Science derives form the aerospace engineering initiatives involving the development of rockets of WWII and the NASA Apollo space program of the 1960's. To adapt this terminology in finance is off the wall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.239.0.135 (talk) 15:14, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Bizarre article, strangely written, without reasonable purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.80.117.214 (talk) 07:59, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't like this article
Much of it is incoherent, and some of it is wrong. Unfortunately, it's hard to be precise about that because "rocket science" in finance has been used in a number of different senses over many years. It's not clear to me that it's a well-defined topic. If it is, I think the core meaning is not in IT or economics, as suggested by the article. Rather "rocket scientist" suggests someone with a mathematical or physical engineering background. Also, the term has a long history of both derogatory and defiant uses.

 * Agreed. It is rubbish. There is nothing notable about the financial world's use of a well-worn phrase. This article should be deleted. &mdash; Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:00, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
