If I had the choice between an unproven-policy or nothing I would choose nothing. The reason is simple: failed policies cause intangible but very real harm. The fact that the harm is intangible means you will never have the anecdotal evidence of its harm and are instead left with the unquantifiable number of all the businesses that could have been if only they weren't regulated out of existence. Clearly you can see the danger in this because it harms a party that cannot defend itself: the economy. Make no mistake, both nature and the economy are very sophisticated ecosystems and we need both to thrive.
