One concrete data point for the thread. 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.

One thing that is still open after Dr.PulmRoch’s answer:

What did you change at the same time, and can you separate the two now?

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence. Something real and small gets treated here as though it were real and decisive.

Reporting back.

Closing this out. What actually changed my mind was the point about waiting for a trend instead of reading a single measurement, which is embarrassing in hindsight and worth saying anyway.
