As has been said by others, the article is not an analysis of the methodological faults of PACE, but an attempt to provide insights on the debate of data sharing, with PACE being a hot example. This general debate on data sharing is ultimately a political one, and there is no one "truth" to report, only viewpoints. The reporter has reported the viewpoints of both sides, without getting the subject overly complicated. This is as good as it gets in mainstream papers. It is not the reporters job to take sides, or come to his own conclusion on the matter; this is not an editorial or opinion piece. Intelligent readers will reach their own conclusion.ETA I love the irony in that you felt you need to complain about the complaining.
Ps it was more of a critique than a complaint, but I'm sorry if it upset you
Horton's still out to get you - presumably he wouldn't comment if you got to hijack the agenda and distort the debateMy comment still didn't make it through.

Well, maybe so, but I think you've got him on the run.I'm sure Horton doesn't know I'm born and isn't in charge of moderation but I'd like to have got some points across to the audience.
In sum, I feel the article (and therefore the journalist) is helpful to our cause, and calling the article 'poor' is taking aim at people who are supportive of us, rather than going after our enemies. And yes, I feel there has been too much of this on the forum lately. If you think this article is 'poor' I can show you some others that will make you vomit.

As it was pitched, perhaps they were't to hear comments from others in the community on open access, datasharing and unconvering research errors among researchers and not just from the principals. It wouldn't hurt for other advocates to give it go and make comments on the article.My comment still didn't make it through.
