Hi Susan,
No worries at all.
You'll find no argument with me on the quality of the paper. I think it was a pretty crappy review- very selective in the research utilised and drawing conclusions that I do not believe are warranted. It is unfortunate that it is often necessary to not only read reviews carefully but read the research that was used to inform the review...especially in infant feeding research.

Karleen:

I apologize I was in a cranky mood about that poorly structured and biased review.  In that moment, I used the "arrogantly dismiss the bad work" approach I learned at Hopkins, instead of "all work deserves thoughtful consideration because you still may learn something if you look past the parts that were not good" approach I learned at Cornell.  I do believe that there is no coincidence that it ended up in the news.
