Given that the discussion is a research proposal to test basic income as a concept, rather than focus your comment on dismissing the concept of basic income (which it's worth noting is totally fine to do but isn't relevant to the thread), why not propose changes to refine the study so that it may more effectively assess whether basic income is viable?

You would need a small nation state to run the experiment with its own currency and limited natural resources (as in, it can't just sell oil and distribute profits like Alaska).
It would also have to be very librial about borders and illegal immigrants to simulate the US.
I would suggest the minimum size of this nation should be around 15+ million people.
