Most of what circulates confidently in this community traces back to one summary of one study, and the qualifier was dropped somewhere in the third…

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then measure again under the same conditions.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look. It is a small discipline and it changes what you notice.

One thing that is still open after LindaRN_retired’s answer:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

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