The author said that to be useful reanalyses should add either new data or some new insight to the interpretation of existing data. According to him, Feldman's reanalysis unfortunately does neither. He comments on two issues that seem to be most important. In defining group pattern, the author feels Feldman fails to distinguish two related but separable questions.
