Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look.

Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. 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.

Worth separating that from training through weight loss, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. Posting only so the count is not one.

Coming at Dr.EndoIndy’s question from a different direction. The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person. Both are real; they answer different questions and get quoted as if they were the same one.
