It doesn’t say anything about the correct answer to the question and all about your analysis process. Keep looking, good luck!

At some point, it's possible to draw conclusions from the fact that a whole bunch of generally intelligent people can't make a good argument for something's worth.

For example:

> The fact that I have not met a single knowledgable person who managed to convince me that eating poop is a good idea that solves problems that need solving in elegant ways doesn't speak about me, it speaks about the topic at hand.

Do we conclude that eating poop is a great idea, and that more looking is what's needed? Or can we conclude that there's probably a reason folks struggle to justify the concept?

> It doesn’t say anything about the correct answer to the question

It doesn't necessarily say something about the correct answer to the question. That however doesn't automatically mean it never says something about the correct answer to the question.

I decided in this case, that it does.
