Ms Lattimore

thanks for the followup and your thoughts.

I've mostly given up trying to figure out why people do the research they 
do, and I've seen a lot worse papers in 45 years of refereeing.

We agree that the media almost always oversimplify, and don't know the 
difference between causation and correlation -- nor such things as biased 
samples. (I note the sample was not really described.)

Back to doing research
