Comment] Offline: Scientific journals—irrational, perhaps, but necessary. thelancet.com I bought Ken Rothman's book Modern Epidemiology in 1995 and took his course on the "Theory and Practice of Epidemiology" at Tufts University a few months later. I felt then, and still feel now, that his text, first published in 1986, has biblical importance for anyone trying to interpret the growing mass of new (and often doubtful) research published in medical journals. Several quotes deserve headlining. One example: "Hypotheses are not generated by data; they are proposed by scientists."
