The problem is that it doesn't really matter what either of us *thinks* and using *probably* weakens the argument even more.

What we're all hoping for is definitive research using some kind of imaging or chemical analysis of the air surrounding wind instrument players or some other not yet thought of way of determining what gets into the air and how much, and how long it stays there. So far that hasn't been reported.

Well, of course. And some of that decision will be based on a player's age, physical condition and general health, and the physical conditions of the rehearsal or concert venue. One problem is that you have no control, or any real way of evaluating, the ventilation system in a potential indoor rehearsal space, nor do you control who will be rehearsing with you. It *is* a personal decision and no one should be pushed into one he isn't comfortable with.
