Hi Nathan, I don’t think the results of the RCT will be negative, just that they could cause us to update (in either direction) which adds uncertainty, though I’d admit that at a <50% forecast this could plausibly increase my forecast rather than lower it (though this isn’t immediately clear; depends on the interactions with the other reasons).
And I hope the more elaborate reply I just wrote to Simon answers your remaining question.
