Dissent of the testis

All rapid responses
Rapid responses are electronic comments to the editor. They enable our users to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. A rapid response is first posted online. If you need the URL (web address) of an individual response, simply click on the response headline and copy the URL from the browser window. A proportion of responses will, after editing, be published online and in the print journal as letters, which are indexed in PubMed. Rapid responses are not indexed in PubMed and they are not journal articles. The BMJ reserves the right to remove responses which are being wilfully misrepresented as published articles or when it is brought to our attention that a response spreads misinformation.
From March 2022, the word limit for rapid responses will be 600 words not including references and author details. We will no longer post responses that exceed this limit.
The word limit for letters selected from posted responses remains 300 words.
And, like testes, they need to be kept at lower than body temperature
- in case they melt.

I believe the caption for the figure in this article is in error. It
is quite apparent that the 2001 Teaser must be on the left, not the right.
And just as surely it is the 2007 Teaser on the right. Otherwise, the
article presents a succinct and compelling argument for reinstatement of
the old design.

Re: Error in teaching slide
Well spotted!
The illustration was altered after the caption was written - so the
captioning is wrong in the HTML version on the website but right in the
print journal. The PDF shows how it appeared (correctly) in print:
