Flow-based pricing is more intuitive and grounded than EMH because it rests on basic supply-and-demand intuition: if you want something and someone doesn't want to sell, you raise your bid until they capitulate, whereas EMH assumes costless information aggregation with no friction.

Evidence Quote

I think to me as an investor focusing on flows seems much more intuitive because at least there I have some very explain it like I'm five uh foundations to understand which is that if I want something and Mike doesn't want to sell it to me, I'm going to raise my demand until you eventually capitulate and say fine. If you want to pay me a billion dollars for my bicycle, I will sell you my bicycle. That feels much more human and intuitive in terms of how we actually get to pricing behavior.
