Outcomes are more important than "real policy".

Real policy is about real outcomes; this idea, while interesting to talk about, fails on outcomes.

Hasn’t been implemented so how do you know the outcomes won’t be there? Real policy as you call often times fails to have intended outcome or has lots of unintended consequences.

That's not a serious policy analysis, or even much of a debate exercise.
