I don't like this. How about:
You may not have a problem. If you have a problem, you may not be able to detect it. If you detect it, it may be a false positive. Your intervention may make things worse. You might not detect that you made things worse. The whole operation may have been a statistical illusion made up of small sample size, insufficient blinding, and insufficient control.
