The notion that the weak hands must be protected against hiccups goes back beyond the bear raids of the 1800′s. The notion that the liquidity providers are exercising undue influence on the market and thus manipulating the price at which they deal goes back much further. I think the real question is why do we allow order input and cancellations at the microsecond level? If the answer is: because it increases liquidity, then it seems like the case is closed. No?
