Mine went the same way, slower. Nothing to add that would improve it.

Coming at VanRx_Mike’s question from a different direction. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle it.
I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.
