We have competing hypotheses about an observable future fact. We should resolve them via the scientific method.

But if you don't have an email form doing thousands of impressions and want to just bet on this one, your bet would be a very bad bet to make.

While I won't disagree that there might be other labels that perform better than "Submit", calling "submit" as the worst possible copy seems overtly sensational. We both know it isn't.

@dxm, haha I actually want to try "don't submit". That one may backfire and actually work better.

It was too literal. "Don't submit" would definitely be worse, but still not the worst possible copy.
