Well...the way I'd explain it is as "the worst atrocity ever inflicted on the financial world." Which may not be specifically true, but it's not far off.

Black-Scholes is a neat schoolhouse formula for determining The Proper Price To Trade Options At.

Here's the problem: Black and Scholes assume there's only one risky item in an options transaction, and it's the stock. The money you use to buy it is considered riskless, and you can borrow as much as you want at a low interest rate. There are no transaction fees, and you can sell even a fraction of a share of stock. Unfortunately, none of those things are actually true.

Those who believe in Black-Scholes believe you can put hard, scientifically-valid formulas to work to determine the price of something which can't actually be priced out that way, and they've cost people a LOT of money by doing it.
