So basically, farts can be used as a weapon against space aliens? Got it!

You have lead with a very important idea, that electronic routing of communications is nearly instant. So why, when I pay bills online through my financial institution, does it always take some DAYS before my payment is received by the payee? The money has definitely left my account on that very instant. The financial institution has now a few days to lend that same amount (and up to a minimum 10 times more) at interest to other suckers! So when you actually project the interest calculations and the mathematics, your $300 utility payment is making thousands for your financial institution that the suckers will pay from actual blood, sweat and tears.

Now, if either you or I did the same by writing and delivering cheque when you know there is no consideration backing that cheque, we are committing criminal fraud. Yet for the financial institutions, it's a typical Friday at 4pm profit point!
