RE: conclusions and discussion
See my other post for those that aren't reliable/relevant.
You made comments about two studies being exploratory, but I didn't mean to exclude such.
you can't cite a bunch of papers and then deflect criticism saying I'm not responsible for those citations
No, but I can cite papers and not be responsible for their content beyond my stated purpose. I take full responsibility for finding articles fitting my criteria as listed elsewhere.

conclusions and discussion
If you're pushing some other definition of conclusions, then I think this has devolved into arguing semantics. The important thing here is if what I provided was misleading.
Have you read an article and then compared it to it's abstract? Conclusions in articles reconcile results with experimental design and experimental limitations. One can have a result that suggests one thing, but when take the limitations of the experimental design into account the authors usually cede the point that the results are interesting but need further analysis. Abstracts are often very misleading.
Yes, good journalism is about providing reliable, relevant information - and I think the studies I included speak for themselves in this regard. Do you see one that isn't reliable/relevant?
See my other post for those that aren't reliable/relevant. I really have this feeling that since you pulled papers off PubMed you feel that they are top notch and that you couldn't possibly have overstated the scope of the cited papers. Experience has taught me that a google scholar search won't give me articles that have all that much relevance to my work regardless of what the title may say.
I didn't intend my example to represent bad news, but my article is different in just in the way I explained: extent of information provided, original organization/presentation, time to research, etc.
The extent of info doesn't mean anything if it is misused/misrepresented. You can't have it both ways Brandon, you can't cite a bunch of papers and then deflect criticism saying I'm not responsible for those citations.
