At WWDC 2017 I was in the keynote speech line with two of the Facebook client team devs. According to them the entire client team was trying to get rid of RN, so maybe they succeed…

There's a third option - "do a meta-analysis of representative studies to determine true effect size".

This is not going to work. Price controls will generate shortages.
