What? Dose-response curves do not work that way. They do not look like binary circuits where at 10mcg they do absolutely nothing and then at 15mcg go to the moon. They look like curves. If 15 mcg was better than 12, then I should have observed something like a medium effect. If 20mcg was better than 12, I should have observed something like a small-medium effect. If 30mcg was best, I should have seen signs of a small effect, possibly not statistically-significant, but clear point-value shifts. I observed none of that.

It was closer to 12mcg, I did not 'abort' the experiment but carried it out to completion exactly as I had planned, and it was not arbitrary but close to the middle of the reasonable range of 5-30mcg.
