Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

I read this differently. The confidence in this thread is running ahead of the evidence, and I would rather the uncertainty were stated than smoothed over because it is unsatisfying.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. The boring version of this is the one that works, and the boring version is: measure a baseline, change one variable, wait, measure again under the same conditions. Nobody wants that answer and it is still the answer.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
