I know people are like parrots and like to repeat the same "multivitamins are useless", but after starting it, i noticed some improvements on my digestive system and fatigue after covid. Sometimes anecdotals are useful, whatever works for you.
Based on the headlines and search results I’ve skimmed, X has not been proven useful in whatever handful of demographic and contextual cross-sections have been studied. In accordance with other intuitions of my own, I extrapolate this to mean that X is useless in all demographics and contexts, that the question of value is conclusively answered in the negative, and — for some reason — it’s now important to me that you draw the same conclusion, even if you have reason to keep an open mind or conclude otherwise.
The shorthand phrasing omits all the pesky subjective, unscientific stuff as well as the weird emotional investment in other people’s thinking, so it might be helpful to just keep the long form version in mind when you hear the parrots.
But that probably means I've wasted a lot of time proving things people just told me. It's a trade I'm happy with :)

There's also regression to the mean to consider here. You just naturally get better in time.
