Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Whatever the answer turns out to be, the method for getting there is the same: state the assumption, do the arithmetic in public, and invite the correction. That is slower than asserting, and it is the only version that survives being wrong.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale.

Moderator note: reminder that nothing in this thread is medical advice, and that clinical claims need a source.

Old thread, but it comes up first when you search for this, so it is worth updating. Keep the original post as written when you update it, and add the correction underneath. An edited-away mistake is invisible to the next person who makes it.
