I try to consider these limitations when giving advice and often speak of "theoretical" concepts when giving advice. Typically this means avoiding touting specific products or regimens unless they are in the context of a specific person or specific situation.

For those of us really interested in learning the specifics of their hydration needs - I urge you to read and reread exercise physiology text books - usually in use at their local universities.
However - as an forum user - and in trying to be helpful - the best I can do is tell people to remember their own experiences.......
