I am fully aware that this post is seriously affected by a conflict of interest because what I’m about to discuss (in positive terms!) is work by Anthony who’s doing a very good job on his PhD (which I co-supervise).

But, I thought I’d do like our former PM (BTW: see this; I really liked the series) and sort conflict of interests by effectively ignoring them (to be fair, this seems to be a popular strategy, so let’s not be too harsh on Silvio…).

Anyway, Anthony has written an editorial, which has received some traction in the mainstream media (for example here, here or here). Not much that I disagree with in Anthony’s piece, except that I am really sceptical of any bake & eat situation \(-\) the only exception is when I actually make pizza from scratch…
