The original URL was not a "study". It was a piece of reporting. It had
quotes from scientists who as far as I can tell did not even work on the
two studies. At any rate, my comments were not about the reporting, but
rather the underlying studies, most specifically the second one
mentioned. So again I ask, which study were you referring to with your
comments?

I am obviously missing something... I don't understand. You replied to
Mike and claimed that I was reinterpreting the "studies" (i.e. plural)
to say the opposite of their results. What exactly were you talking
about? Did you mean to say that I was reinterpreting what the news
article said?
I clearly stated in my original post to Bill K that I was discussing the
underlying studies, not the BH article. I even mentioned going to the
web pages of them. So I am still not understanding your complaints
regarding my post.
