Thay's why I think experiments like the Finnish one also mentioned on the linked page:
"Finland will select 2000 unemployed citizens to receive 560 euros a month for 2 years - no strings attached. It's part of an experiment to find out what happens people's desire to work when they're guaranteed a basic income."
are nearly useless for evaluating the effect of UBI on an economy.
