Guest engine experts seem to always agree not to touch anything if it's still running and high confidence of the exact problem isn't available. I wish I could find the detailed information. Has anyone else heard this?

BT No supporting stats. Lycoming has researched it and it's a myth. You can find the info in their tech briefs on their website. I heard it "around the airport" c1980. If there are stats, they are old. About all I can add is that one of the locals had the engine drop to idle at the first power reduction--probably at the crosswind turn--the clevis connecting the throttle to the carburetor came loose. IIRC, he made a successfull landing on the airport.
