PedsEndoPhilly said:The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either.
Correct, and worth adding that it is reversible. Nothing being described here is a one-way door, which changes how cautious it is reasonable to be.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

I read this differently from PedsEndoPhilly, on substance rather than tone. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.
Happy to go further on any of that.
