I pointed out that there is no system, no place, no methodology that can give us meaningful results or data outside of trying it live. It's not something that Can be overcome because without recreating the platform in it's entirety and thus the interaction as it happens normally / naturally all you have are "estimates" at best. This isn't about not wanting to do science, and as I've said things could break, but you cann8get any meaningful data by putting a slice of the user's into a testing tube and looking at it with a microscope since by the time you suggest it is an experiment this would already influence the behavior and result in numerous ways.
I pointed out, there is no metrics to measure curation by, there is no metrics to measure success here by, and at best to get "success" it takes months and months, then we can analyze what that did to the retention rate, and draw another hypothesis, cautious of the innumerable variables that could have affected it much more than the changes.
