That’s missing the point. ADHD meds make everybody concentrate better, regardless of whether the person actually has ADHD.

If it’s less than the benefit when used for actual cases then, in aggregate, the benefits would be a low bar. Arguably that’s a better bias as it would make the benefits/costs decision more conservative. They’re taking the difference in measurements for each individual.
