What kind of results do you expect from this pilot? I imagine you could get some positive results (i.e. people change behaviour when they get unconditional income), but my expectation would be that not a lot would change. But the problem is that if the result is negative (the behaviour doesn't change), it will be invalid, but most likely misinterpreted by casual observers.

For the short-term pilot, we don't expect to see many behavioral changes--we'll just test the mechanics and refine our research design and outcome measures. We'll begin examining our research questions in earnest with the full 5-year study.
