FWIW I have reached out to SIU and Edward Choi at least a 6-8 times. I joined SIU, sent emails and left voice messages with absolutely zero response. I believe I was respectful and acted professionally at all points with my correspondence. I simply mentioned that I was looking for a more detailed explanation with the goal of understanding the reasoning and methodology used.
To not respond at all, even if only to say "sorry, no" is telling IME.
My feeling or best guess if you will is that this is a self serving adventure by self declared elitists "look at me I'm published!" who are threatened by having what they say challenged because they know that the scientific method was thrown out the window here and this is simply a weak ass data dump that means sweet fuck all.
Maybe I'm jaded? LOL .
TLDR - Fuck these clowns and their bullshit
