Dr. Mauro is obviously knowledgeable in the area of statistical analysis and raises a valid point regarding the importance of evaluating the likelihood of a type II error in studies with negative results. Although one does not wish to detract from the main point of a study with extensive details of the statistical analysis (two pages in this case), some readers may desire more mathematical information than values of mean, variance, t, and P, and do not wish to make their own calculations, to reassure themselves that a reasonable conclusion has been drawn by the authors and their statisticians.
