The HN title is "Low dose radiation cancer 2x worse than predicted" than LNT for some unspecified region of the curve... they do not claim LNT is wrong, they do

The HN title is "Low dose radiation cancer 2x worse than predicted" than LNT for some unspecified region of the curve... they do not claim LNT is wrong, they do not even present their more sophistocated fits and they do not quote the 2x figure. It is misleading. The paper presents an LNT fit
If you want to say "there is a bias above linear-no-threshold in the region less than 200mGy" you are correct, but also say that the bias has large error bars associated with it and that the data may or may not fit that trend.
Unless you have p-values to back up the 2x claim, it shouldn't be in the title.
