  11. BERKSON’S ALTERNATIVES “The findings were the result of the interplay of various subtle and complicated biases or had a constitutional basis, involving people who were non-smokers or relatively light smokers, being the kind who were biologically self-protective and this “correlated with robustness in meeting mortal stress from disease generally”

  12. FISHER’S OBJECTIONS (i) Smokers with lung cancer reported inhaling less than smokers without (Doll & Hill, 1950) against causation unless it was concluded that “Inhaling cigarette smoke was a practice of considerable prophylactic value in preventing the disease”

  13. FISHER’S OBJECTIONS (ii) Secular changes in smoking habits could not be related to the increase in lung cancer since “lung cancer has been increasing more rapidly in men relative to women” while “it is notorious, and conspicuous in the memory of most of us, that over the last 50 years the increase among women has been great, and that the increase among men (even if positive) certainly small”
