RE: "Are you a statistician?"
Jim,
I am glad he has your blessings to comment and disagree. I find this whole
process of posturing to be very tiresome. Particularly when others joining,
and only do so to express their own views over and over again.

Dr. Nelson responded to me privately rather quickly after I bounced the "Are
you
a statistician?" question back at him with the information that he is recent
Ph.D. in Epidemiology with 35 hours of Biostatistics coursework. He said
the
Cohen radon data/analysis debate had been studied as a class project in
Advanced
Epidemiology. He did not indicate where his degree is from or who was
teaching
the Advanced Epi course.
I think that is a sufficient basis for an interesting discussion about radon
epidemiology, if Dr. Nelson can get past pulling rank and belittling those
who
disagree with him.
Best regards.

But at least it's the "Emperor with no clothes" costume! :-)
