Remind us where you are published again, Rainbow.
I haven't told you which papers I've written and co-authored. Nor will I.
My credentials are not the topic of discussion, and I'll thank you to avoid this kind of personalisation in future.
Well in a certain sense you are trying to argue for us to trust your judgement over that of the author and the peer review process it went through. That in itself is an appeal to authority.
I don't mean to be an asshole, but in a comparative case of trust I'll put my "faith" on the actual scientists, not you.
You can of course change this by supplying a valid rebuttal to the author.
I think you should write him your reasonings and we can try and take it from there? Or if we are lucky someone can access the full paper for us, who know, maybe the specific reasonings for the procedures are mentioned therein.
