>So, if DNDN had gone by the same procedure as done for 9901, they would have found just three significant covariates (plus treatment)<

We don't know that, do we? We know that 2 of the 5 from 9901 would have shown up, but how many of the 20?

>Given that the reputation of Dr. Higano herself (and that of other co-authors) is on the line, this is extremely unlikely.<

To be clear, I don't think the reputation of any of the presenting doctors is on the line in any way. Higano and Small are free to present any accurately run analysis because it is an academic exercise for them. They are not there to communicate likelihood or confidence of FDA approval, nor are they there to characterize DNDN's relationship with the FDA.
