This doesn't sound like it but I'm actually serious; I'm officially done finding clever reasons for why stupid sounding things are reasonable
I'm reminded of the critiques of methods of rationality. In the story, harry goes to Magical Britain, finds out that magical currency is literal gold, and concludes that since the price of gold varies but the muggle money / wizard money exchange rate does not, you can exploit the system to make money (details left as an exercise).
Then reviewers were like this is super arrogant, the more mature thing to do would be to assume that there is a hidden complexity that makes it all makes sense. Congratulations reviewers, you officially care more about sounding smart than succeeding in life
I mean it's possible that there would be a hidden flaw, but it's probably unlikely rather than certain, and assuming that there is not and then falling on your face if in fact it exists is a way better strategy for navigating the world. Even if you try 10 such things and succeed once it would be vastly better. Arguably even if you never succeed it'd be better since you'd learn more
