Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. I will report back once I have actually tried it.
From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person. Both are real; they answer different questions and get quoted as if they were the same one.
Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.
Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. Tagging this one for the weekly digest.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle it.
One concrete data point for the thread. One practical note: write down what you did and when, before you need it. Reconstructing a timeline from memory three months later is how people end up unable to answer the one question that would have resolved it.
