They will have their own COI in many cases. I suspect the possibility for a snazzy headline trumps many of the more rational but mundane reasons...
They just might be heading for extradition.
Even the most objective, rational and honest people should not be reviewing their own studies ... just ridiculous. A crucial aspect of any review...
I think that for the PACE authors and their ilk, the sh*t has now just about reached the fan.

Absolutely. The crucial thing is for more people to become increasingly aware of the reality of ME/CFS, and the surreality of PACE etc. It would...
From @Goblinf's comments posted by @Sly Saint: ... good grief! Spot on.
Yes, obviously we focus - rightly so - on the absurdities of much of BPS-driven ME/CFS pseudo science, but I would be amazed if biomedical...
Definitely true. Something needs to change so the value of all useful contributions to the sum total of knowledge can be properly recognised....
