you have an interesting conclusion. the analysis is IMO, overly simplistic, however you are entitled to your opinion.

I don't think the question is overly difficult.

1. A study that mistakenly uses two variables cannot draw accurate conclusions.

2. The T-20 trial using a Genotype selected anti-HIV cocktail and T-20 used two variables - thus you don't know which variable caused the positive results. This point is proven by the results of the Durant study, which mimic the best T-20 results by using only the Genotype selected anti-HIV cocktail.

3. Clearly this study design was flawed.

4. Furthermore, Wall Street incorrectly drew the conclusion the trial success should be attributed to T-20 when it is clear from the Durant study, that the other anti-HIV drugs used in the T-20 study played a significant role.

I suggest you read the Durant study and re-evaluate.
