I hadn't even connected these two posts in this way, so your point is well

taken. The peer

review of the HCV study was clearly done by reviewers who are no peers of mine.

They

were unable to identify a huge glaring flaw. And there can be only one

explanation. the

reviewers were completely unfamiliar with the actual published literature on HCV

treatment in the PRC. This is inexcusable and really calls into question the

credibility of

the journal in all its prior and future publications as well. Basically, if no

member of your

team can do a literature review in chinese, you have no right to do such a

study. Being

unable to do a literature review of prior studies violates one of the basic

tenets of research

design. I see at least one L.Ac. was involved in this study. Perhaps he should

be

contacted directly to rectify this matter. Why didn't he identify the flaw?

Someone needs

to take the fall and I think it should be whatever supposed " expert " made this

lame

decison in the first place.
