Well expressed, and I largely agree with your assessment. But certain Japanese politicians/authorities/corporations aren't exactly neutral, disinterested parties in this matter either, so I think some adversarial discourse is helpful here, and at least the best we'll get. For clarification, I'm mainly reacting to the headline rather than the thyroid cancer survey. I don't have an opinion either way about that without seeing much more background, and that seems more complex than I'll have time to dig into today.
