> There should be experiments to determine what works and what doesn't work.

I think one of the problems is that a proper experiment takes ~ 12 years (or more, if your want, eg, impact in college or on writing life) which leads to many problems:

- how do you get the research funded?

- how do you get people to stick to your approach for that long?

- how do you justify the risk that your idea will not make things worse (for a whole 12 years...)?
