@sj_zero I've been noticing for a while a pattern where something obviously bad will be happening, and someone will say "no actually this is counterintuitive but this is good" and people will just nod and agree. "It's counterintuitive" seems to be enough of an incantation to get people to ignore their own observations and logic.

At this point I have trained myself to just ignore that argument, and anything that sort of "expert" says. Economists are some of the worst about it, too.
