After reading this portion of the book I realized that the error of the various actors leading up to the financial crisis wasn't that they didn't see it coming, it was that they failed to realize that their views were subject to error and therefore, might not have been the right way to proceed. It was an example of various groups being too sure about their various world views - whether it be real estate prices always rising, the panacea of securitization or the market fundamentalism that left derivatives, etc., unregulated.
