The bit that worries me, Sen, is the "mathematical model" part. We'll ignore all the real world studies in favour of a mathematical model for whom the only suppliers are two of the existing committee, both part of a known temperance organisation. Does this not stink to high heaven?

In theory, "all the other factors" should have been averaged in / out & generally accounted for in collating many studies. But they've thrown away all the studies & gone with data provided by... This is the sort of science that had Galileo being forced to recant under pain of pain - we don't believe in it so it can't be right; we believe in this so it must be right!

Science or social engineering?
