And, of course, the premise of books like The Big Short is that it was only a small handful of folks who weren't drinking the cool aid pretty much up until the burst.

But it's a fair bet that there will be individuals within each bank who saw the sky falling. With hindsight, I'm sure there will be many opportunities to portray those folks as the keepers of the bank's true knowledge and belief.
