Yep, I certainly got that point. (See the edited comment.) But today the real choice is between PUA that yieds little but positive results in the field, and alternative theories that yield no results.
But I’m not arguing that PUA is bad. I’m arguing that the lessons learned from PUA aren’t generally applicable outside that arena, and are not good examples to use when illustrating a point on an unrelated human-rationality topic.

OK, fair enough.
