Filing a mild objection. Mild because I might be wrong; an objection because nobody has addressed the case that does not fit. I would resist the confidence. Half of what this board was certain about two years ago has since been quietly dropped, and nobody went back to correct the threads.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

That reframing is the part I needed.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. 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.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
