There's no misunderstanding here at all. I'm aware of the variance, but that doesn't apply to my question. Consider that questions such as "What can cause the first rib to elevate?" are made with the implication "in typical anatomy" and are still of interest as we research TOS. For that question, the correct answer is "The two scalene muscles that attach to the topside of it."
Likewise there may be a correct answer for "What muscle action can cause the first rib to come down?".
Also, even for things that vary
immensely such as "What gives you symptom relief?" we see an uneven distribution in the answers that come back. For example, popular answers include ice packs, heating pads, supporting the arm and corpse pose, while we don't typically see qigong, contact sports or pushups as a reply. So even the "soft" questions are interesting to get answers to.
