I've not seen the Pettis study, nor do I have any specific knowledge of  it.
 
I was speaking of a common fault that I've seen in almost every sublethal  
study that's been published or discussed in the last couple of years - a 
failure  to distinguish between a general stress response and a specific factor 
(e.g.,  chemical) response.
