and (2) that a lack of studies would mean the experts are wrong.

@Ruken

This isn’t part of the OP in question.

You keep repeating this, even though OP has been cited several times. Here it is again:

@Tired_and_Cranky

I’m wondering if this works. “Experts” get quoted about the strategy and imply they believe it leads to better outcomes but psychology and sociology research is a real mixed bag with lots of unreliable studies treated as definitive. Worse yet, in the absence of data, it seems some people pretend their ideas or personal experience are data.

OP has not spelled out what conclusion we should draw from an absence of rigorous studies and empirical evidence. But one could hardly be more explicit in in inviting the inference. There’s really no ambiguity here, and I think it’s disingenuous to keep claiming that this is “not part of the OP”.
