The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not. That is answerable; arguing about which sounds more plausible is not.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look. It is a small discipline and it changes what you notice.

Pushing back on Dr.GutHealth here. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.
