I highlighted the claim that you did make and asked you to respond to that.

My point is that I didn’t make a claim, I refuted GP’s by saying that either outcome is equally likely as there’s no proven link between parenthood and performance. If GP wants to claim there’s a negative causal link, the burden of proof lies with them.

You didn't refute GP, you refuted a strawman. And snidely.
