Mocking the epistemic skills of others while engaging in literal soothsaying (stating facts about future events) shows how culturally conditioned North Americans have become regarding government wrong doing.
I don't expect these people to be successful in their primary goal, but an enticing second order effect is it could accidentally catalyze public interest in epistemology, logic, rhetoric, the nature of Human culture and cognition, and a variety of the other things that keep commoners locked in a sophisticated virtual reality without their awareness (in any sophisticated manner at least). Now that would make this whole game a lot more interesting, because it applies to everything.
Also imagine the false discovery rate of <whatever analysis you think you can do> with the thousands of products which exist in a grocery store!
“Ah look we found collusion in salty snacks between weeks 38 and 45 of 2022 in stores 1, 5 and 13!”
Even if you knew what analysis to do (and you don’t) you are going to end up crying wolf a million times and solving no problem at all.
Again - a worthy effort but the methods just don’t exist.
