No disagreement, though the timescale matters more than the mechanism here. Most of what looks like a difference in kind turns out to be a difference in how long somebody waited.

True, and it depends on a baseline nobody has stated.

That reframing is the part I needed. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

Worth saying that the confident version of this is more useful to the person writing it than to the person reading it.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful. Carry on.
