Yes, I did take this a bit too harshly. Maybe not an attack, but a criticism/objection that I feared would be discouraging more than helpful. I may have over-indexed on it a bit because it’s something I am working on for myself, and I may have projected it onto you. My natural tendency is to focus on complexity and difficulty that will have to be resolved, rather than supporting and reinforcing the good parts, and I apologize if I misattributed your suggestion.
I doubly apologize that I did exactly the thing to you that I feared you were doing to OP—your suggestion is good that consistency might be important for the effect, and the warning is also good that losing the randomization may let more outside correlations creep in.
No worries! I think I also need to work on my tone, as I sometimes point out tiny little details that I think could be improved without pointing out my overall positive feelings. I’ve done this pretty extremely here, so I’m going to go back and edit my original comment so that it more accurately reflects how I feel. Thanks!
