Him making an anti consumption policy would fall under the "broken clock is right twice a day" situation.

Arbitrary policies can be found to align with arbitrary ones if you inspect on a different metric than is used to create them.

In this case I would assume from what has been released isolation via destabilization is the goal. (Not major destabilization mind you just "ruffling feathers" enough that we naturally pull away)

The fact that destabilization results in reduced consumption is a coincidence.
