I've taken a liking to UBI lately but I think you hit the nail on the head. It's easy to assert all the benefits or problems with UBI at face value and argue over them but it's much more difficult to judge the relative scale of each and tease out all the interwoven systems that are affected by such a sweeping program. I'd like to see more experiments, trials and studies but ultimately they'll all fall flat because they're not the real deal (still useful, just not 100% accurate). The 'Universal' part is what makes it so interesting to me and also happens to be impossible to test without actually implementing it at a massive scale. Any data gathered from not-truly-universal sources will always be fundamentally flawed from the perspective of what the impacts actually would be in the real economy. There are lots of open questions around UBI but IMO that just means it needs further debate and discourse.
