The editor of the journal the paper is published in is Jack M. Gorman MD. I think he's unlikely to disagree with himself, but the idea of a letter to the journal is a good one and I may well write.
> What I hear you saying is that Gorman's data do not support his conclusions. Fair enough. I know this is a naive question, but how does he get away with that in what looks on the surface, at least to a non-expert, to be a scientific paper? I know these papers are generated and collected to serve the purposes of the manufacturers, but are they first published in journals that are "peer-reviewed" and offer a venue for criticism? The link you posted was from a manufacturer web site, but the document itself says "academic supplement." How is a lay reader to know if the thing was published in a reputable publication? I mean, if what you say is true, do you have the opportunity to send a letter to an editor and bust his lying ass (arse)?
