I think everyone is missing the point.

I think this is our first example of the "guerilla tactics" that GUMM and Kovel/Fuller promised. If you (anyone- not just you, Dan) were part of GUMM management, and had to choose between (1) announcing the results of the study NOW and getting a flood of publicity in time for cold season, and certainly having the article withdrawn from publication, or (2) releasing no details of the study and having to wait until February for these guys to publish, which would you choose?

Right! It's obvious to me that management made the correct decision. Today's silly stock price drop has no bearing on building the brand, whereas the publicity was invaluable in doing so.
