[R] Use of R in clinical trials

[John Sorkin]

Bert,
There is a lesson here. Just as intolerance of any statistical analysis program (or system) other than SAS should lead to our being drive crazy, so to should intolerance of
any statistical analysis program (or system) other than R.

Bert,

I like your comments. There is one issue, however, that drives me crazy
whenever I meet a customer asking "You are not using SAS? Too bad, we need
validated results."

Implicitly: Even if you let your cat enter SAS code, the results are
correct, because they SAS is validated.
