    I challenge all of your assertions, and I’ll prove it empirically. I have a science funding proposal on my desk asking for 1 billion dollars. Then well know for sure who is right. ;)

      I wonder if you could actually learn anything doing an experiment in an MMO or something where the money wasn’t actually real. Because, obviously, this isn’t the kind of thing that you can actually study with real money in the real world. Just imagine you could actually get approved for that kind of study… but you can’t really learn anything with a single person, or n=1, so now you need n=100…
