There is no hard data for the "invisible hand of the market" but people still promote it. It's just how things work, people have ideals, and they push them into the spotlight to be discussed and talked about, which leads to studies being made and people finding pros and cons.

There is hard data out there for this very subject. Its called look at the costs. Our government is relatively transparent, we know the costs of food stamps. We know the cost of every single social worker on the government. We know their pay, their salary, their qualifications (these sorts of things are standardized upon the GS-levels) http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/supplemental-nutrition-assistance... If you refuse to discuss data that is readily available about various programs, that makes you a lazy writer. The blog post is terrible. There are much better articles out there that discuss the pros and cons of basic income.
