If by "my numbers" you mean the New York data in your post #30 above, those numbers are from state contact tracing data for the period September to November. So, two things: 1) these numbers are based on statistical assumptions, therefore by your definition they are also unreliable, and 2) odds are pretty good that a lot of the restaurant activity in New York from September to November was outdoors, which is less likely to be the case for December and the following few months.
The article on the Stanford study also cited the CDC "which said in September that a study of adults across 11 U.S. cities who tested positive for the novel coronavirus were twice as likely to have dined out within the last two weeks than those who tested negative."
