I've heard circular reasoning before, but not one right in the title!
Schools should really teach the Law of Supply and Demand so adults don't need to belatedly discover it.
I also agree that you don’t need to know market participant’s motivations if you only cater to the existence of market participants
focus on own your part of the stack without worrying about the other parts
If demand dries up, move on
Also, you could replace "looted antiquities" with any number of illicit things: ivory and other parts of endangered animals, drugs, organs etc. etc.
Wait, are you saying there's still a market for antiquities because there's a market for antiquities?!
