Maybe but I haven't heard any one designer on this thread what kind of statistics-based/semi-scientific method they employ in making design decisions.
The only thing Im getting here is that additional money gets you more time and more experience... which still doesn't answer the fundamental question of (OUTSIDE of random streaks of luck where a design got 1:200 sustained conversions) do you have any method that can be statistically replicated where conversions will fall into a range?
I guess the bottom line is that design is and perhaps always will be an EGO- and HYPE-driven issue that skirts away from actual statistics-based analysis.
Its like saying Jim Bob is a $5K a pop designer cuz he happened to design THREE tours back in the day that hit 1:200 on TGP traffic. The rest of his work since then has been 1:2000 or 1:30K but its OKAY... he's a PROVEN talent.
If that's what we're talking about, wouldn't it make more sense for paysite owners and other holders of capital to invest in cheaper guys hoping to at least pick best of the statistical litter?
