How to convince people that this system works without to test it first? I can't accept a theory without evidence. This is not the scientific way.
Have you tested to see if jumping off a cliff will kill you? What evidence do you need? RBE has a plethora of evidence. The difference is, it won't kill you if you try it yourself.
Jumping off a cliff is a poor analogy, it's both intuitive and has been tested. Proof of concept is important.
RBE is also common sense. Did your parents charge you for room and board when you were a child? Would you charge your elderly and infirmed parent for such support? Just extend that concept and treat everyone as your family. It is much easier to understand when survival is a higher priority in situations such as total war.

RBE is as simple as e=mc2 to describe and just as difficult to understand. All science is like that. Scientific truths are simple to demonstrate and nearly impossible to thoroughly explain. That's why scientists go through 6 or more years of college. That's also why science is not a debate and I will not engage in debate. Debaters use logical fallacies to cheat their way through arguments.

Ask me a specific question about what you don't understand or be perceived as arguing through ignorance.
