It sounds like you'd enjoy looking into "the paradox of choice" (the econ literature, not the junk science book with that title). There is a good bit of evidence that too many choices reduces utility and induces irrational behavior
Rest assured that is not what we see. I cannot speak for everyone, but most economists wouldn't call your theories "ridiculous" unless they had significant experience on which to base such a claim. I hope they would also back up their "ridiculous" claim with some peer reviewed literature that demonstrates that the theories presented are, indeed, ridiculous. I hope representatives of our profession would be more respectful than that.
