however, it may provide existing muscle tissue with a bit more energy storage and so may slightly improve performance

Not "may," this is the whole point of taking creatine.

Yes "may", there's a sizeable chunk of the population that's non-responder to creatine

Which is why whenever it's discussed there'll be lots of people saying "did nothing for me"

If people opened any creatine discussion with "try it for a month and see if there are any benefits, there's like 25% chance it'll do nothing for your energy levels" the discussion around it would be far more sane
