He specifically mentions comments like yours are not helpful. This is the researcher fraud that is the problem in science that we are talking about, issues at hand are ignored or twisted so the paper mill can continue. The concept is all mice in the USA come from one laboratory and have a common attribute that's different from wild mice and European suppliers.
