I think androgens are basically 98 percent the cause of MPB. Castrated men prove that androgens directly cause MPB and from what I generally see it seems to be true. No other theory or pathway as of now has proof it stops MPB other then androgens. It explains why most older men with no facial hair generally have little or no hair loss and men with higher androgens generally go bald as they age. Most men I think are susceptible to androgens so its men with none or very little that keep NW 0 to old age like koreans and asians.
You can debate the best way to stop androgens, but I dont see much room to argue their importance. You can theorycraft about the many other things involved in MPB downstream of androgens or how important testosterone itself is, but overall they are huge factor.
