If you can show me the study that you found convincing I'd love to see it.
Oh, just to be clear - I wasn't ever convinced by studies that support mask mandates. The CDC usually cites the studies they reference to justify their policy positions, so all you would have to do is click on the links they provide. That's what convinced them, so they should really be the gold standard of the "best study" (or else they wouldn't have picked it).
I can't follow your reasoning. Why does the CDC selecting a study make it the "gold standard"? I'll admit that I only skimmed their selections but did not see anything particularly persuasive. No RCT studies in that list (because every RCT study spanning back to 1980 has shown the opposite of the CDC's position).
Oh, I was being snarky. I believe their rationale for an insane policy position should be some quality gold standard studies. If they don't offer that as their rationale, then it's on them.
