The narrative you are presenting is also based on common sense though.

We have observations that populations of kids eating peanuts early have lower allergy rate, but it´s not like we isolated 300 babies and experimented on them for 30 years, we just can´t. Short of other stronger evidence we assume it´s true, but if tomorrow we found that there were other causes specific to the US, independent from peanuts themselves, we´d have the same reaction: we didn´t know so we did our best.

Yes that's my point. Common sense was never with the peanut bans. Common sense was with peanut eating the entire time.
