Jose Duarte kirjoittaa Cook:n 97-paperista:
When a scientific paper falsely describes its methods, it must be retracted. They falsely described their methods, several times on several issues. The methods they described are critical to a subjective human rater study – not using those methods invalidates this study, even if they didn't falsely claim those methods. The ratings were not independent at any stage, nor were they blind. Lots of irrelevant social science psychology, survey, and engineering papers were included. The design was invalid in multiple ways, deeply and structurally, and created a systematic inflating bias. There is nothing to lean on here.
We will know nothing about the consensus from this study. That's what it means to say that it's deeply invalid. The numbers they gave us have no meaning at this point, cannot be evaluated. Fraudulent and invalid papers have no standing – there's no data here to evaluate.
Jose Duarten kritiikki on myös siinä mielessä harvinaista, että hän ilmoittaa luottavansa ilmastotieteeseen. Eli hän ei ole mikään skeptikko tai denialisti. Tai ei ainakaan ollut tuolloin vuonna 2015, kun hän raateli Cookin paperin silpuksi ja vaati ERL-lehteä peruuttamaan sen julkaisemisen - ja hän aidosti uskoi, että siihen riittäisi sen osoittaminen, että tutkimus oli ainakin yli kymmenellä tavalla katsottuna tieteellinen petos.
