After a Mentor discussion and the deletion of one somewhat OT post, the thread is reopened provisionally. Please remember the earlier caution in the thread to stay on topic in discussing this report. Thank you.

This article explains multiple other issues with the review and I recommend reading it if you've read the Cass Review and are taking its findings seriously

BMJ paper commenting on the Integrity Project paper linked above (McNamara et al) and another (Noone et al):

It's only five pages long. Highlights (IMO) are that the authors see McNamara's paper as effectively a legal position paper (not peer reviewed, but immediately submitted in court cases) and not an attempt at objective commentary, and that Cass is, if anything, too generous in her ratings of the reliability of studies (Chen et al, Tordoff et al) that McNamara suggests were unfairly excluded.

"Who wrote the paper?"

"Noone et al."

It is pronounced like the time of day: 'noon'.

"Noone et al."

The Odysseus and the Cyclops resonance did cross my mind. However, I gather it's probably a variant on the surname O'Nuadhain, which means son of Nuadha (an Irish first name).

But Peter didn't pronounce his last name "noon"...

Noone does, I think.
