The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine.

That is right, and it stops being right at the edges. The general case is well behaved; the interesting cases in this thread are all at the boundary where the general case breaks.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. 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.

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