Abstract
I have very little to say about Dr. Ahlbom’s paper by way of criticism, since I agree with almost everything he is saying. My only complaint is the very weak one, that Dr. Ahlbom has not succeeded in providing what no-one else has provided either, namely a theoretical underpinning of the arguments for and against causal hypotheses.
