I think the headline is very fair. I agree with other commentators here saying ‘ah but how the tides will turn’—but you clearly take this into account and say as much in the headline.
Lets not get too complacent or, ahem, count our free roaming domesticated junglefowl.
OTOH if we get something like the results of the Malan 2022 field experiment ‘for free’ once we have PTC parity, I feel like the ball will be well and truly rolling and well get scale-ups and hopefully a phase transition sometime thereafter, maybe with a few other clever interventions.
Thank you, Fergus, that’s very kind of you! I would note that I think it’s quite possible and somewhat likely the Malan field experiment found a very small effect on beef sales at 0.3 percentage points. That said, there may have been a couple percentage point decline in poultry sales, which would be much more valuable. (I didn’t get in to this as it was besides the main point of the paper.)
Great work.

Again, great work and thanks!
