Random thought: this is a case where someone's intuition matched what actually happened, making us think "why don't they listen to people with common sense?".

Random thought: this is a case where someone's intuition matched what actually happened, making us think "why don't they listen to people with common sense?".
But what about the many other cases where someone with "common sense" said "this fucker ain't gonna work" but the thing worked as predicted by simulations? Surely they must have happened too.
