On the definition side it is quite clear - a CR requires 4 specific criteria to be met, and a PR requires a specific 3 of those 4 to be met (all except bone marrow histologic remission). A CI is quite different - it requires any one of a different set of 4 criteria to be met.

Hey Peter,

If the definition is so clear, then why didn't Tefferi just refer to the (alleged) non-CR's he refers to as PR's? If "a CR requires 4 specific criteria to be met," and Imetelstat clearly does not meet the 4 criteria (or even three, as you and jq and Clark and Dew and Feuerstein allege), then why does Tefferi refer to them as CR's? He could just as easily have referred to them as PR's.

If you're going to tell me that the PR's did meet the criteria of 3 of four specific criteria, but the CR's only met two of those criteria, then you are, in fact, saying that the PR is of a higher order of significance (because it met more criteria) than a CR, which, we all know, is patently absurd.
