I'd prolly be a lot wealthier if I were as polite as you are when
describing blatant incompetence!!. Competent peer review is a totally
accepted part of calling any kind of work "science". If there is no peer
review, it simply ain't science!! No ifs, ands, or buts!! (Of course, if
the money comes out of Washington DC, there might be some butts, but (a one
t but) that's different!!) :-)

I ask you---what better way to advance a pseudo technical political agenda
and give it an aura of respectability to the uninitiated than to publish a
paper on (spparently) scientific research through an (apparently) reputable
organization which does not follow a strict regimen of peer review!! WHAT
AN ABSOLUTE CROCK!!!

And I'll bet that LOTS (IF NOT MOST) expensive regulatory (NHTSA and EPA,
not to mention INSURANCEE INSTITUTE (joan Claybrook)) decisions, based on
(so-called) cost-benefit analyses are based on just this sort of "science".
Calling it a travesty earlier was too polite a term, I guess!!

BTW--HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ALL!!! :-)
