Open Parachute 
Just a request to look further than a two-valued everybody or nobody safety.
Safety experiments should indicate male and female results. Just giving an average where some increases of effects cancel out decreases in the opposite sex is NOT scientific.
Also not scientific is not to give kurtosis of distributions, since under fluoridation the copers may cope better but the non-copers cope even less, but the average remain the same.

Soundhill, please give the specifics of your “request” as it relates to my report (what specific detail of my report does it relate to). And please confirm if you sent the same request to the authors of the FFNZ report and the NZ Fluoridation Review. if not, why not?
