Just to stick my head up a little... Ed, Lois probably knows more
practical things about IRB work than 99% of those of us on the list. If
she's got a stance she's presenting, she probably has a solid backlog of
reasons for doing so. [Knowing her pretty well, she's not one to just BS
or make things up. :)]
I also feel some serious discomfort with the dichotomization between
graduate students and "faculty" that your last post drew. I don't feel
that that's appropriate, and would prefer to simply "not go there".
