Inaccuracy of Black-Scholes – Fischer Black and others agreed that the model is flawed

Finally, they agreed the model is flawed. I remember that I had an interview with a European Bank 3 years ago. The interviewer talked B-S model with me. He asked me whether believed B-S model or not. I told him that B-S model is far far away from the real markets and I didn't think that B-S model was right......  Finally, I was rejected after the interview. What a joke.
