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.
claudia_zurich said:Agreed, and one caution: a single measurement is not a measurement.
Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Not convinced. The evidence being cited is consistent with the conclusion and also consistent with two other conclusions nobody has ruled out.
