Someone should have stopped you from opening it.
Why? Does it mean that every stupid act should be stopped? What if turns out that it is stupid to stop stupid acts?

Data matters if it can effect psychology. I think proof that 300 flippers are losing money sends a powerful message, Don’t you?
If psychology is data-driven then the bubble would not have existed.
Data matters. But the presentation of data matters more. And the preception of data matters most.

When people do stupid things, they may cause harm to themselves. Should they be stopped?
In some cases, they may cause harm to other people. Worse yet, if many stupid people do stupid things at the same time, the stupid society will be in danger. What should be done?
