| Dec 10 at 14:09 | comment | added | controlgroup | Ordinarily I think Qs like this would be off-topic as personal theories but there is actually a lot of legitimate thinking to be done on this topic. I’ve asked upvoted questions about “is this process explaining adequately this observed effect” before, and this doesn’t seem different, so +1 from me. I haven’t much to provide in terms of an answer but I hope someone else does. | |
