I'm concerned about hindsight. Lewis only says that the old guard objected, but he doesn't make it entirely clear why; "moral disapproval" doesn't suggest consequentialism.
Lewis certainly does suffer from hindsight. The article claims that he was "waiting for the end of Wall Street," while his book says "I didn't think Wall Street would collapse."
