Following on from anna.melb_AU — and this may be the naive question:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

I read this differently. The confidence in this thread is running ahead of the evidence, and I would rather the uncertainty were stated than smoothed over because it is unsatisfying.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.
