My money is on the JACC findings!

Considering the number of individuals and institutions represented by the JACC article, if I was a betting person, my money is on JACC, against CRA. I think it is clear that this is NOT the end of the story. Regardless of the outcome, this will be interesting and informative to watch. [There are a whole lot of egos resting on this outcome!]
