Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

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