"I'm guessing there aren't too many scientists or statisticians on here."

Perhaps more than you think. Again, though, the link would have exposed you both elsewhere here and on STRATPAGE to the analysis and you could then determine for yourself whether it meets your rigorous standards.

As a physicist and scientist, I'm certain you've faced numerous disproved hypotheses while pursuing academic "truth". LANCET is beside the point, though. There are sound, practical reasons why the methodology is flawed. Iraq is dangerous. So much so that this study was a pointless and premature exercise, IMHO, which proves nothing that's not already commonly accepted- that a great number of people have needlessly and brutally died.
