"Have you read the book ‘Next’ by Michael Crichton by any chance?"

I have not. It looks interesting, though. I am somewhat independently familiar with some of the contents.

Was there something in it that you wanted to discuss?

Crichton correctly identifies the joke that is peer review, and studies funded by drug companies that (surprise,surprise) come to the conclusion 90% of the time they determine that their own drug is best.

(I must confess I’m surprised it’s not closer to 100%, although perhaps it really is, since even these polls can’t be trusted!)
