Will the case be feasibly anonymous? I would vote that the article be left unwritten if it would unambiguously identifies the author(s), either explicitly or through unique features of the case (e.g. details of the case which are idiosyncratic to only one or a very few research groups).
I don’t know who the authors were or the specific scientific subject matter of the paper. (I didn’t need to know that to spot their misuse of statistics.)
Good point. Also, they might wish to rewrite and resubmit… in any case, you can’t reveal anything they would want to lay original claim to of feel afraid of being scooped of.
