Which is a reasonable response; and I'd probably agree with you.
Although it does lead to another question; a lot of studies are conducted
around the world, many of them would benefit dramatically from publicity on
a "top-5" website. How far does supporting those that ask go?
What sort of precedent does it set?
Were Berkman given preference here for some as-yet-unknown reason (as is
being suggested).
The latter point could be fairly damaging to our credibility.
Again; issues that should really be worked out in advance?
