True, and it depends on a baseline nobody has stated. Without knowing where someone started, the same number can be an excellent result or a disappointing one.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person. Both are real; they answer different questions and get quoted as if they were the same one.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.

Coming at PharmD_Rodriguez’s question from a different direction. 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.
