Since SRPT was controversially approved based on a surrogate outcome, there is a chance that the post-market trials the company is obligated to run end up failing. In the case of this MRK news, AF may be making a list of people / goading people into arguing

Congrats! Nailed it. BTW there is an interesting psych theory that people can be usefully characterized by where they fall along a spectrum from empathizer to systemizer. Safe to say AF falls far towards the former - and almost certainly more than a little disingenuous in that cause.
