No I can't because there's no data to go off of. I'm honestly unclear as to whether it's a valid issue or not. Even in this case where the data we have seems to indicate there's an issue, the data doesn't seem entirely trustable. Anyone claiming complete certainty in this environment with no evidence is clearly just blindly pushing an agenda in bad faith.

It seems odd that you've based multiple comments here on that example then, I think.

Did you actually read said comments? I've said this multiple times. It's basically the thesis of my statements.

They felt like concern trolling to me, but I admit I'm multitasking and posting this from next to my son's hospital bed, so maybe my reading comprehension hasn't been the best. I acknowledge that possibility.
