I read this differently from Dr.PulmRoch, on substance rather than tone. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.

Correct as far as it goes. The part it does not cover is what to do when the honest answer is "not enough data", which is more often than anyone likes.
Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Taking it to my next appointment.

Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

Second this. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
