Honestly, I downvoted because most of the utility in these articles to me isn't the precise number, it's the idea. After all, I don't really care that chocolate bars work this way if I'm selling a SaaS product. I'm going to run the numbers myself.

It's the idea that this could work.

I want to encourage people to honestly communicate ideas to me and I want to discourage people who would discourage those first people.

I explicitly don't want to restrict only the highest-quality research. I want to permit some amount of scamming me.
