the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it

This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

text removes the body-shaming pile-on

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

Strongly agree. The dispute resolved and the record stayed updated.

Disagree.

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

This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
