It's important to keep in mind that we're not trying to prove anything here; we're just trying to explain the discrepancy we've read about. So for D, we already KNOW the number of birds has stayed the same. We just want to know why. So if a reasonable number of bird species are drawn TOWARD the scent, that could explain the similar overall numbers. It doesn't tell us why the numbers are about the same, but it doesn't have to. We now know that the missing birds were replaced with others, and the data tells us that the actual numbers of birds did indeed balance out.
We don't care about B because however long it took, the requirement has now been met, and the argument tells us that the number of birds NOW is the same as before. So we're still left wondering why the number hasn't changed. We might be interested to know how long it's been SINCE the change was completed (maybe the birds haven't had time to come back), but B doesn't say anything about that. Whether the change took a day, a
