You can’t. But UBI-supporters don’t let that get in the way.

[Mordisquitos]

That's a good point. We've already carried out enough small-scale tests of UBI to know that it has no obvious drawbacks, and carrying out even more small-scale tests will not provide us with much new information. What we need now are state-wide implementations of UBI, as they are the only way that UBI-sceptics may be forced to accept it if the results are positive.

A small scale test doesn’t have any impact on market prices and thus does not reflect reality.

I think these experiments should use a better name if that's the case, ie limited basic income.

Universal Credit heh

You speak as if UBI opponents had any evidence whatsoever that it wouldn't work.
