One concrete data point for the thread. If you are comparing against somebody else’s result, check that you are comparing the same measurement taken the same way. Most of the apparent contradictions in these threads dissolve at that step.
One thing that is still open after Dr.PathRoch’s answer:

Worth saying that the confident version of this is more useful to the person writing it than to the person reading it.
I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

That is right, and it stops being right at the edges. The general case is well behaved; the interesting cases in this thread are all at the boundary where the general case breaks.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Taking it to my next appointment.
