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.
That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

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.

That reframing is the part I needed. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. Nothing to add that would improve it.
