I know what you're saying.
You know more than I in terms of how the formulations might act the same or differently.
I agree with the logic.
You are describing what I call the "retrograde control" game.
This is basically where somebody changes details or interpretations of the past to make it seem as if it was a situation that they had "controll over" all the time.
For instance, I failed a test. I reframe that into, I failed because I was on the wrong drugs, not, I failed because I am dumb.
But, in the end, my lie serves its purpose in that so long as it gives me courage to try things again, eventually I will pass.
In this case, I don't know. I remember that at one point, a lot of people were complaining about a new lithium formulation. Nobody believed them, but it turned out that this preparation did not contain the indicated content, and got pulled.
So, if the drug is as claimed, then it is probably more in people's mind, but in the possability that the drug is actually an inferior formulation for whatever reason, then maybe there is something to it.
I know what you are saying, but don't really know enough to have any valid opinion.
