Tissue digestion and fiber burden analysis, ‘‘done according to standard methodology,’’ was reported in six individuals.

Moline et al claim that tissue digestion and asbestos fiber analysis were performed ‘‘according to standard methodology.’’ The authors cite two publications as the source documents describing the ‘‘standard methodology’’ (their references 23 and 33). Neither reference describes a standard methodology, that is, a method accepted as correct by custom, consent, or authority or a criterion for measuring acceptability, quality, or accuracy.
