It struck me when I realized that MA staff read this forum, and I assume others forums as well, that any work done to discover the secret of loot may infact be in vain. It reminds me of the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. Simply put, the uncertainty principle says that we can not accurately measure the speed and position of a particle at the same time, as measuring the position affects its speed and vice versa.
The more accurately we figure out how loot works, the more inclined MA will be to change it. I'm sure that there are many different ways that loot could be determined while still maintaining a "balanced" universe. So if we correctly figure that loot theory A is the truth, MA can just change it too loot theory B and we will never know. We would have affected the truth by figuring it out.
I'd change it if I was MA. So it seems to me that I am a Lootius Agnostic. There may be a Lootius, but we can never know or understand him

Interesting idea but there is one flaw. If the loot system is based on a process that if figured out can cause people to loot more often than they should then sure,
MA will change it.
But it would make more sense for
MA to develop a loot system that, even if broken, does not need changing as knowing how its all done puts no one at an unfair advantage. This seems like a smarter way to do it as you then avoid any work required to change it... cos you never need to
