I read this differently from A1cHero_PHX, on substance rather than tone. I think the framing smuggles in the conclusion. Ask it the other way round and the obvious answer reverses, which usually means the question is doing the work.

That is right for the common case. Whether it is right for the case being asked about depends on a detail that has not been given.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions. Agreeing that something happens says nothing about whether it happens enough to act on.
