Lottery: maybe. Science: occasionally [PK / PD]
Hi Hötzi,
Diplomatic as usual.
I think regulators are sitting on much more comprehensive info than just the papers that are occasionally published. In fairness, sometimes regulators know stuff you and I don't, and the guideline could simply be a consequence of that.
But in such cases it would be really prudent of the agency to publish comments and some useful degree of justification, and not just resorting to either not publishing comments and justification at all, or publishing argumentation that is conveniently vague sentences referring to reviews of the current scientific knowledge incl. study reports available to agencies etc.
We'll see....... or perhaps we won't.
❝ I’m eager to learn what the PKWP’s “justification“ was. To my knowledge not a single [sic] paper demonstrating its “merits” is published yet. Science? Gimme a break.
