Wow, that really is progress. SMC view now regarded as optional and something that can be safely ignored if it's too daft. By the Times no less .The print version cuts the Macleod quote at the end, so it's better for us:

I wonder if there couldn't be a lot of people (including journalists) who are sick of being leant on by the SMC and have been waiting for a moment like this to be able to turn round and tell them to "f*** off", if I may Coyne a phrase. If everyone jumps on that train the PACE trial may even be judged on its merits, with no-one to speak up for it except the authors and a few remaining stooges. Excuse me, I'm dreaming again.
