If JAMA publishes it, expect it to be cut down. It probably needs to be
reformatted since I'm not sure the Usenet style of quoting the text being
commented on is acceptable. A journal is going to alot you only so much
space, and you want it all to be used to make _your_ points. I'd therefore
suggest a rewrite so that it doesn't need to quote the original.

Do you see any glaring errors?


I'd need some time to review it. It's too long, I think, to send to JAMA.
Sure, there are lots of nits to pick, but unlike Usenet (where you don't
have to be brief - though the longer a post is, the less likely people will
read it to its end) I think you'll need to focus in on the one or two
aspect of their article you think are most in need of rebuttal and discard
the other criticisms.

All in my humble opinion!
