Yes, however we need to run tests at increasingly large scales to see how those metrics hold up. 3 years is good but doesn’t have the same psychology as “permanent”.

Curious how such requirements were/are never demanded from any other policy proposal. They were just devised and implemented. If we took 100 years time for testing for every new law, society would come to a total standstill.

It's different with UBI though because it goes against the class interests of the ruling bourgeoisie. Demanding ever more tests is a pretext to waste time and never implement UBI. The best test is just implementing it.
