Yes, it’s testable and the estimates so far strongly support my claim. (I’m constantly on the lookout for data of this kind to improve my effectiveness.) I wouldn’t have trouble adjusting because I’m already trying to reduce my unethical consumption through habit forming (which basically comes down to being vegan and avoiding expensive stuff). Even if its not very effective compared to other things, as long as I don’t have opportunity costs, it is still something positive. I’m just saying that even for people who won’t, for whatever reasons, make changes to the kind of stuff they buy, these people could still reduce a lot of suffering by donating to the most effective cause.
