Pulling six results into one place because they keep getting quoted individually by whichever side of the argument is winning.

Three of those six are mine and I will state the uncomfortable version: I would rather have a reliable 97.5 than an average of 98.5 built from a 99.4 and a 94.8.
The reason is that you are not buying the average, you are buying one vial. Variance is the thing that hurts you and the mean is the thing that gets quoted.
this is exactly why i publish ranges, and exactly why people quote the averages anyway. i am considering leading with the range next update just to see what happens.
lead with the range. "96.5 (93.7–98.4)" is one extra clause and it changes the entire meaning of the sentence.
same fight as relative versus absolute risk. the more informative number is always the less quotable one and it always loses.
you cannot fix that with formatting, but you can make the bad version harder to write, which is most of what formatting achieves.
alright. range first, mean second, n in brackets. changing the template.
