 Sure but it isn't what I asked you is it?  🤷 

Serious question, why is it difficult for you to analyze a hypothetical without injecting bias/emotion into it?

I am not being a dick this is research for a show.  I have really wondered what makes it so hard for people to evaluate what if scenarios with simple logic especially when they have a dog in a particular hunt.  

Can you do it?  Sure number go up, okay.  But what would the real impact be, number is gonna go up anyway.  
 Alright. My apologies for responding, I'm not sure what the impact would be. I was guessing that it wouldn't have much of an impact,  it probably wouldn't impact my behavior but I'm probably not the average user. 

If I spoke those words to you, instead of typing them, you'd understand from my inflection that I was just throwing guesses into the wind rather than throwing some sort of shade. 

Good luck with your research, hopefully you find the insight you were looking for. And again, apologies for responding hastily to things I don't have the ability, time, or foresight to rationally deduce.
