Following on from Dr.AddMedPHL — 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.
If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.
Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. It helps to ask what evidence would change your mind before you look at any. If nothing would, the discussion is not about evidence, and it is better to say so early than to spend nine posts discovering it.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.
