You got me there, though you only got a flaw in my reshaping of my original analogy. You address a detail, ignore the argument. I repeat:

I don't think there is money to be made from these subjects.

The effects are unreliable.

It's ignorant not to study a subject that yields significant statistical results.

You can exploit a river flowing downstream, but it's much harder to catch a freak thunderstorm.
