One reason why we treat the LSE study with caution is because it is just not as rigorous as one would normally come to expect.

You have just delivered what should have been the most intellectually coherent and damning study of UK public policy since 1997. Because you failed to apply the most basic fact-checks to a very large area of public service, the NHS, you fucked it. Every minister and perm sec now has an excuse to bin the whole work. At what cost to the 'mature debate'? You know the tools. For fuck's sake get on with using them to get this stuff right. Who’s blustering and waffling here?
