Answering the narrow version, because the broad one does not have a single answer. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle 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 I actually want to know is 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.

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

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. Nothing to add that would improve it.
Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.
I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.
