Not direct at all, they are really very different concepts.

But since your never going to accept that, I'll reply - so what.

If one is a direct outgrowth of the other and can't exist without it, arguments against the outgrowth still aren't arguments against the older idea.

And getting back to the original point - Neither recent nor older arguments against the efficient markets hypothesis, amount to support for your statement - "Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" CANNOT FUNCTION as the highest/best allocator of resources WITHOUT market participants having as close to "perfect knowledge" as is possible."
