   My point is that not only was it not a “guarantee”, but that there   
   doesn’t   
   even seem to be a *correlation* that would suggest the opposite (bad script   
   -> bad movie) might possibly be true.  It just isn’t useful to have that as   
   a post hoc rationalization for a flop.  Studios could save soooooo much   
   money if they could accurately classify loser scripts before the production   
   process goes any farther.
