I don’t think they’re saying it has no effect at all. They’re saying there’s no definitive proof that it’s a large advantage. That matters. And a natural advantage is different from an artificial one.

Agreed. Ugh, this leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. This woman’s argument is all about how they all feel together, they know how they all feel, feel feel feel all the fucking feels.
