Also important to stress that most (limited) experiments suggest this assumption to bee true. UBI is not as radical as many people pretend it is. It is essentially a one size fits all solution replacing all existing welfare programs with, in many cases, better outcomes.

You can’t quit when you’re in an experiment that will end. Unless payments are for life, the experiments of UBI are invalid.

So what's your argument? That we shouldn't try UBI because we can't for sure how it will work out until we do?

Guess what: That's true for pretty much everything. That doesn't mean discounting the evidence we do have because it's just that, evidence, is a reasonable thing to do.
