Following on from VendorMark — and this may be the naive question:
How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

I read this differently from tony_orlando, on substance rather than tone. Pushing back on the consensus forming here. Consistency is not the same as correctness, and a board that agrees with itself quickly is usually agreeing with the first person who sounded certain.

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. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. 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.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.
