Dear Crispin, Andrew,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your clarifications about your point of view.<br>
So to summarize, you think there is nothing wrong with the study or
its methodology. In that case you disagree with Nikhil who<i> </i>thinks
this study is plain rubbish.<br>
<br>
Then it seems to me we should be grateful to the study authors. We
have to give credit when credit is due. This study gives some
serious indications that improved cookstoves may not have a positive
impact on pneumonia, that's a good progress.<br>
Now, we need to know if improved cookstoves can have a positive
impact on other diseases.<br>
<br>
Dear Jock,<br>

<i>"The problem I see is that we are too focused on stove
technology. We are not looking at the context in which the
problems exist."<br>
</i>Indeed. We are interested in solving problems in the first
place, not to make stoves for the sake of making stoves. We need to
zoom out from time to time, to see if what we do still make sense.<i><br>
