Stephen Senn (Letters, March 3) overlooked a significant point regarding the publicised drug study collaboration of Procter & Gamble with Sheffield University.
Authors and all scientists take the responsibility for the work that is published under their names.J If P&G was unable to dis-pel the doubts of Sheffield researchers about the conclusions of its data analysis, it should not have published the researchers' names as authors of findings theycould not possibly vouch for.
