I’m not using this as a decision maker end-all, I’m using it to define the reference class to get a prior. All those questions are calculated afterwards. I’m trying to define the “too-good” category, not define something that would discriminate between scams and non-scams.
The core question isn’t whether something is too good to be true, but whether it’s reasonable that an opportunity like that exists without information being hidden from you.

I think it’s a poor reference class.
