I'm also not sure what you're hoping to accomplish here. Yes, quantifiable claims are better than subjective ones, but "no one knows what would have happened otherwise" is just an argument that justifies literally any action.

I'm saying having a model for what you're talking about and also having empirical research about what has happened with similar interventions on the aggregate is good. Looking at a single intervention in response to a massive calamity and saying "well that didn't work because things were bad after!" is what I'm trying to critique.
