does non-scale victory actually matter or is it forum lore at this point

Results The Quiet One ×9 Slow Clap ×2

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: non-scale victory matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 20 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 17 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Small correction: the trial was 19 weeks, not 13. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

text removes the comparison trap

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
