Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.

I am going to disagree with the direction of travel here. The thread has converged on the tidiest answer rather than the best-supported one, and those are not the same thing.

That holds where the measurement is reliable. Where it is noisy — and a lot of what gets tracked here is noisy — the same reasoning produces confident nonsense.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. Worth answering the question that was asked rather than the one behind it. The narrow version usually has an answer; the broad version usually does not, and answering the broad one is how a thread stops being useful.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
