Your arguments were no more "simple", than mine were "sophist". (clever and specious). What surprises me most is that nobody took me to task for my specious use of the word "entropy." Which, in information theory, is a measure of the information content of a message evaluated as to its uncertainty. Now, that brings me back, sophistically, to my point that TA is voodoo nonsense that only works because we think it does. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that. We believe in all kinds of things that we cannot prove with statistics, and our very belief in them has a profound impact on our lives, and our environments. I would point out though, that most of them don't have a host of gurus spouting techno-babble to convince us of their validity...mmm...well, maybe I'm wrong about that... I have no argument that wealth is accumulated through work (or canny trading), but to say that it is "created" troubles me. I think work converts one form of wealth to another. I don't think it creates it.
