I’m suggesting that you ask yourself “does this really matter?” before you post. You’ve made contributions to past threads but now we get comments like “a tendency on the part of the authors to make incredibly sloppy, poorly-supported, and …” that signal an attack dog mentality. Why is “incredibly” part of this sentence? Does it add anything except flame? Do you really find the “errors” you comment on incredible?
You may care more about the methods than the conclusions but, personally, I visit OB more for the questions than the answers.
Sorry to highjack the thread but I think that increased civility warrants attention.
