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

No disagreement, though it depends on where somebody is starting from, and this thread has been assuming a starting point nobody stated.

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

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. 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.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Worth answering the question that was asked rather than the one behind it. The narrow version usually has an answer; the broad version usually does not, and answering the broad one is how a thread stops being useful.
