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…

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction.

Coming at carl_compliance’s question from a different direction. 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.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Keep the original post as written when you update it, and add the correction underneath. An edited-away mistake is invisible to the next person who makes it.

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

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Filing an objection on the n=1 problem. Personal experience is genuine evidence about one person and very weak evidence about anybody else, and this thread keeps promoting the first into the second.
