Just like enterpreneurs navigate the infinite number of potential ideas and approaches: you go for the next best thing, non-conclusive indicators.
And this is the danger too, because there can be many non-conclusive indicators that are plainly wrong or even dangerous (e.g. the anti-vaxxer movement).
But if there are no conclusively proven effective ways to solve your problem, of course you're going to try some others, right? Is that snake oil by definition?
