Well God certainly didn't forbid those 80 children dying.

Judge me all you want. In the story of human history this means zero.

You think this is the Lusitania? Yes it tragic. Does this mean war? No.

A plane 3000 miles away got shot down. Who cares?

The idea is that you can replicate an option's payoff with a portfolio of the underlying via continuous hedging. So if an option is overvalued you sell the option, replicate it in the underlying and your P/L is the difference of the price you sold the option for minus the cost imposed via the...
