Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.
Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.

Pushing back on CarlaRPh_TPA here. This treats a plausible mechanism as a demonstrated one. Plausible is where you start looking, not where you stop.
