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.

I read this differently from TrialNerd_Beth, on substance rather than tone. Pushing back on the consensus forming here. Consistency is not the same as correctness, and a board that agrees with itself quickly is usually agreeing with the first person who sounded certain.
