In any published paper the methodology and the type of
statistical analysis along with the rational for that
particular analysis used is discussed in the paper. My
understanding is that Markovsky wanted to see the raw
data that was "crunched" by that analysis. I view
Markovsky attitude toward the ME has healthy
skepticism considering its radical nature and MIU's
refusal to share raw data was based more on the
weakness of the ME than on any bias on his part. They
were concerned that the raw data could be crunched to
show no ME. And their concern was correct.
