This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. I think the framing smuggles in the conclusion. Ask it the other way round and the obvious answer reverses, which usually means the question is doing the work.

Fair, and it stops being fair at the extremes. The middle of the range is well understood; the ends are where the honest answer is that nobody knows.
I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

Same pattern here, and in the same order. Nothing to add that would improve it.
