Taking the question as asked, rather than the general version of it. 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.
Asked to pay by a method with no recourse, by a supplier I had used twice before without being asked, which is what made me stop.
What would genuinely help is knowing how people are thinking about the trade-off between reversibility and privacy, because you cannot have both.
If the honest answer is that nobody knows, that is a useful answer and I would rather have it.

True, and it depends on a baseline nobody has stated. Without knowing where someone started, the same number can be an excellent result or a disappointing one.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. Nothing to add that would improve it.
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.
