This study isn't meant to 'sell it' to the people receiving the money, it is about showing the results the people handing out the money. Governments want to know what would happen if they would choose for a system like this. They are not gonna try this with tens of millions of people at once and risk tanking the whole economy. I don't think you realise the value of such results if you call research like this 'stupid beyond imagination'.
