Archimago, this was a very well-written and well-reasoned article. 
Thanks for posting it.

However, if one were to write a letter to the editor about it, the
letter might be based on an assumption that the authors of the HFN & RR
article are behaving in an ethical fashion, and that the issue is just a
need on their part to be more forthright about the protocol used in the
tests they claimed to perform.

As I see it, these people are nothing more than fiction writers for what
amounts to a comic book.  Due to various unfortunate turns the hobby has
taken over the years, the success of their business model depends on
their ability to lie to their readers about the efficacy of advertisers'
"solutions" to non-problems.  That's what they do.  So any belief that a
letter to the editor based on the assumption that they have any concern
whatsoever with the truth of the matter would be naive in my view.

I wish this weren't true, as it's a cool hobby with many benefits for
its participants.  But it is what it is, sad as that may be.
