I have to wonder . . . what was going on in the minds of the voters?
They missed one endpoint, even though we know that one isn't really relevant. They didn't run a second test. They are an unknown company. [Maybe] their presentation wasnt that great. As bureaucrats, one must CYA So let's see what they can produce on appeal, I hear there is a great subgroup analysis that shows convincing results. A few months won't make much difference.
Or more darkly...I pass this and BP quits letting me use that chateau on Lake Como.
