He would seem to be an immunologist.
I wonder if this is because they really thought they needed one, or just to make it sound better...
Agreed and it's a little hypocritical to accuse the review of cherry picking when we're cherry picking what we see as the interesting findings ourselves.
To some degree I agree, @Marco. We also can't ignore legitimately researched studies with which we disagree. However, we are allowed to find certain results more interesting and worthy of discussion than others, without being scientifically unethical.
In my mind, the issue with cherry-picking is when you choose to publish based on certain data while well aware you are ignoring studies that directly relate to your topic of choice. I think there is an inherent understanding that your data would be weakened by what you have chosen not to address.
