Agreed, and one caution: a single measurement is not a measurement. Anything that moves day to day needs a trend before it means anything at all.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

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

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The useful move here is to separate what is established from what is widely repeated. Those two sets overlap less than the confident tone of most write-ups suggests, and the second set is where nearly all the disagreement on this board comes from.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. Posting only so the count is not one.

Closing the loop on my own question.

Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
