I’m not conflating anything or misapplying anything! You’re reading things into my words that are not there! I’m interested in how to study a known side effect of a disease which has been a global pandemic for two and a half years. How to study it at scale. I’m not conflating it with the whole host of other reasons for the grades dropping, most of which are obvious factors and obviously bigger factors. The conflation is happening inside your head, somewhere from between your eyeballs and your fingertips. Respectfully. You are of the opinion that it is obviously a trivial effect and not worth investigating especially. I disagree: I think we should look into it. I do not disagree in the way that I think cognitive deficits from COVID is the main driver of grades dropping. Our opinions do differ, but not where you are saying we differ. I think we should make sure we aren’t spilling solvents into the boat as they can degrade the hull. Why don’t you take a look at the bilge pump?
