I’ve always been skeptical about caffeine’s alleged physical dependence. I’m a two or three cups a day consumer, but I’ve quit many times and never felt any different. This has been entirely by accident, like forgetting to pack coffee on a 2 week back packing trip, or purchasing decaf coffee by mistake, and didn’t even realize I wasn’t drinking for several days

Caffeine’s physical dependence is well documented, you’re by definition an outlier. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-004-2000-x https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-004-2000-x

  "In experimental studies, the incidence of headache was 50% and the incidence of clinically significant distress or functional impairment was 13%." That is by definition not what "outlier" means.

"I've quit many times" is a telltale sign of chronic addiction

  OK, but you didn't apparently read the post you replied to, which says "by mistake, and didn’t even realize".
