I think the good news is that means everybody agrees there's a common currency of how you make a case for your position, and that is based on the best science and of course, some intuition thrown in.
We provide some intuition for the findings, and also provide a formula for obtaining the minimum size of a validation study such that the variance of the odds ratio estimator from the inverse matrix method is smaller than that of the naive estimator, thereby ensuring an advantage for the misclassification corrected result.
In 1935, Morris Markey described tennis as "a rather sissy affair," and James Thurber centered a piece of fiction on a star women's player: Kitty Carraway, divining his intention just as, on the tennis courts, she always seemed to know in advance, by some intuition, where her opponent's shots were going to land, held him off with her strong right arm.
