If you propose a course of action which a normal person would find profoundly weird, I suggest that Chesterton’s fence applies, and you figure out why a normal person would object it. Then articulate why it is usually beneficial to avoid such things, before you decide that this one time, the normal person is wrong and you really should go after the thing that he avoids.
And the answer is not going to be “because he’s a normal person and so he keeps missing twenty dollar bills in the street”.
