Bernie wanted to say something.
DR. LO: I think one of the problems we are
having is that we are trying to have a full debate in
miniature and I think all these issues need to be -- all
these issues need to be discussed and I think I just want
to make two points. One, where we end up in our matrix may
not be where we want to start. So at conception I think
most people do come with the intuition that there are many,
many more rows and columns than we may end up with.
I think as Zeke was suggesting it is only if we
go through the arguments and find that a lot of the rows
and columns are identical after deliberation. Do we then
say the recommendations will collapse? But maybe as we
present this we should start with the fuller matrix and
argue through why it collapses down and obviously we cannot
do that in an hour-and-fifteen minutes.
The other point is that, Alex, what you were
saying about the importance in some situations of being
able to deencrypt that information either for the purpose
of reporting back to an individual patient, close but not
there yet, to report back to an individual patient the
findings that may be of clinical import to that patient.
Or the other situation where that is likely -- that may
come up is where the scientists wants to get back to that
