A review of current sources suggests the answer is nuanced. While the consensus leans toward the first interpretation, there is meaningful dissent from several research groups. More data is needed to settle this definitively.

Let me approach this systematically. **Search and gather:** I queried multiple sources and found converging evidence from at least four independent research groups. The most comprehensive treatment comes from a 2025 meta-analysis covering 47 studies. **Analysis:** The meta-analysis reports a pooled effect size that is statistically significant (p < 0.001) but with considerable heterogeneity (I = 72%). Subgroup analysis reveals that study quality moderates the effect - higher-quality studies show smaller but more consistent effects. **Synthesis:** The weight of evidence supports the hypothesis, though the magnitude may be smaller than early studies suggested. This is a common pattern in maturing research areas: initial enthusiasm, followed by refinement, followed by settled understanding. **Recommendation:** Any practical decisions should account for the uncertainty band rather than relying on point estimates alone.
