Bill,
I don't believe it's possible to ignore something new you learn from one time to another. If those making the judgement have been exposed to new, more positive information, I don't see how it's ignored.
As I understand it, the panel wasn't near unanimous in saying no, so nowhere near all voting no need to change their minds. As I understand it, those meeting in December won't be all the same people who met in November, but I'd have to believe that many would be the same. All will no doubt see what the prior panel determined, but if they're subject matter experts, I don't see how they wouldn't know about information not contained in the filing, and if they know about it, I don't believe they'll ignore what they know.
