British Medical Journal again

A very strange piece here:
https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1559

I don't know what their problem is, I don't know why they are publishing a piece by 'Melanie Newman, freelance journalist' or what her credentials are but at least they have had massive pushback in the responses: https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n1559/rapid-responses

For anyone who doesn't know, the BMJ have a long track record regarding ME/CFS:

The British Medical Journal still allows "conventional units" in its articles

In its house style guide the British Medical Journal, one of the world's top medical professional journals, states:

>Scientific measurements may be expressed using either conventional or SI units, with the conversion factor expressed in parentheses only at first mention. Articles that contain numerous conversion factors may list them together in a box. In tables and figures, conversion factors may be presented in the footnote or legend. Conversion factors can be obtained here. The metric system is preferred for the expression of length, area, mass, and volume.Blood pressure, which should be expressed in mm Hg.

(Listed under "Technical terms" on the page I linked.)
