Oh, indeed! Sorry, I didn’t mean to state that they proved his point or anything like that. I was just observing that they do seem to fit the criteria listed in the original comment Yvain was replying to.
Well… my point is that they do not, in fact, fit the criteria — specifically, criterion #2 — in the case of people who haven’t considered these ideas as options.
Unless they’re not considering them as options because they wouldn’t work for them (e.g. not having the necessary resources/connections, being risk-averse, having a different utility function, etc.), but rather because they’re unusual in some fashion...
I guess perhaps you weren’t clear on why, exactly, you wanted them to have been ignored?
