Reminiscent of cases where it’s hard to short something: you may be able to tell a theory is bunk, but not have any easy way to “short” (provide an intuitive explanation / design a simple refuting experiment)
Not even. An analogy there would imply you could take advantage of people’s lack of support of certain theories and collect against their underpricing of say, TDT. That would make it more efficient than the mouse trap market. Academics are normally just motivated wildly perpendicular to whatever consequences or value their work produces.
