Dear anonymous person,
I am not intending to mislead anyone nor am I engaging in any nefarious behavior. Nor does the post engage in any insulting comment about intellectual intransigence. So polite yourself up some.
http://goo.gl/ZCyDG It is a discussion page, and not the direct study. Contained on it is an amazing discussion with comments from the original authors, disagreeing professors, statisticians, editors and well established researchers. There are all kinds of challenges to the paper in the discussion. The original author(s) answer them very well. The discussion is polite, focused and informative from both sides. So your first complaint is way off, this is hardly a solitary wank fest by the author(s).
http://goo.gl/fmjbI Truly all papers must survive the test of time. The authors have no vested interest in preventing cycling from happening, they are not sponsored by car companies and the like (Walter, Scott, Injury Risk Management Research Centre, Faculty of Science, UNSW; Olivier, Jake , Clinical School - Prince of Wales Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, UNSW; Churches, Tim; Grzebieta, Raphael, Injury Risk Management Research Centre, Faculty of Science, UNSW). The journal in question is a PEER reviewed journal on Accident and Injury prevention, so it does not get published unless it passes muster. This peer review process would also look at the validity of the data. So although it is early in this paper s life it is NOT correct to dismiss it at your convenience.
http://goo.gl/JsThr Agreed it is being challenged, and challenged well. All studies will be challenged. The challenge will be reviewed by people that understand the statistics. If there is problem with data or interpretation then the study will be retracted by the journal or corrected by the authors. Since this paper could be viewed as a 'challenge' to those studies (especially the BMJ) I would not automatically dismiss the study challenged. Nor should you.
The topic is open for discussion. I have given access to many sources that help me formulate my decision. These links have allowed you to post specious comments and trash talk. Please take the time to link to the studies that have led you to your open minded decision that puts real heads at risk right now.
Thanks.
