Ideas that survive this amount of scrutiny will have many competitors, because they are reasonable. This limits the magnitude of possible success. A foolish idea however, one where almost everybody finds a good reason not to do it will be exceptionally successful for that one blindly faithful fool if the reasons not to do it turn out wrong due to some unpredicted freak coincidence. Blind faith is the lottery approach, can't beat the ROI of a winning lottery ticket.
