Short answer first, then the reasoning. 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.
Asked to pay by a method with no recourse, by a supplier I had used twice before without being asked, which is what made me stop.
What I am trying to establish is how people are thinking about the trade-off between reversibility and privacy, because you cannot have both.
I would rather have one careful answer than five confident ones.

Agreed, with the usual condition: that holds for the average and this board is a collection of individuals. A population claim and a personal prediction are different things and get quoted interchangeably.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.
