Ask HN: Why isn't all stock trading done by algorithm?

I can't understand how a human, even with heaps of intelligence and education, is better at predicting which stocks will go up/down than an algorithm that can look at all the data in the entire market. What skill do stock traders use that can't be replaced by computation?
