Not to be snarky, but how could there be empirical evidence for anything that hasn't been done before?

That's true. Although when embarking on a brand new frontier without any empirical evidence available, one would assume there's ample theoretical evidence to make up for it. In this case both appear to be lacking.

In an abstract context that all seems dandy.
However when the power is held by people who would potentially face significant financial loss from either theoretical or empirical evidence, it shouldn't be a surprise that such evidence is lacking, no?

So there's no way for you to be wrong? But there is indeed all the ways for everyone else to be wrong?

I'm not the one with the power to stop that evidence from being gathered.

Right, so, no way for you to be wrong, ever.
Just your assertions that are always true, in every universe.
