Oh yeah idk, thats the problem with those estimates is people don’t usually buy everything at full price, they rent or wait for sales or subscribe to a streaming service or gamepass, so even if you assume pepple would have bought everything they pirate, how do you assign a value to it. Like i wasn’t even thinking about movie tickets, i was thinking like 20 or 30 bucks for a bluray. Idk how much they are because i haven’t bought any in ages though lol.
I mean this is a super unfair characterization of both of them. While Arthur conan doyle may have believed in the supernatural, he was also a practising doctor. And according to the article, Koch, who had many other accomplishments as well, didn’t present his discovery as a cure at all, and was quick to retract his statement when it didn’t show much therapeutic value. It seems like this was more about the hype over his treatment getting blown out of proportion.
