Question: {{question}}

Do this:

3. Diagnose the source of disagreement: different populations, time periods, measurement, methodology, funding bias, or genuine uncertainty.
4. Assess which position has stronger evidence and why, or explain why the question is genuinely unsettled.
5. State what new evidence would resolve the conflict.
