Get ahold of Damodaran's Investment Valuation. Read the whole thing, but for this point specifically, read the section "Generalities about Valuation" in the introduction, and read Chapter 6 on efficient market theory. He gives a fair and well articulated account. Most of the rest of what I've seen in support of EMT is full of circular reasoning.

Generally Damodaran does a good job of demonstrating how hard it is to find ineffiencies and how easy it is misinterpret data.
