A doctor stands before a judge due to a malpractice lawsuit. Do you think they will be interested in whatever novel research he used to justify his decisions? They're going to ask what the established best practice is and why he thought the patient was special enough to deviate from it. I seriously doubt that research will better than the articles references by the numerous guidelines.

Any non-standard decision is risky.

I disagree, there are many potential non-bog-standard decisions that are not risky and certainly better than mocking you and doing literally nothing (while still getting paid).

Also: "we don't know why this happens" and a bit of two-sided discussion is satisfactory for most people.
