Following on from carl_compliance — and this may be the naive question:

How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

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

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. 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.
