> Use of collective dose to estimate public health impacts when large populations are exposed to trivial doses is inappropriate and not reasonable.

First, let's make sure we are clear about the difference between collective (for a population) and cumulative (adding up repeated doses for an individual).

Second, "inappropriate" and "not reasonable" tend to be weasel words with regard to scientific findings. The real issue is that the effects of small doses haven't been rigorously studied, unlike with high doses.

Rather than actually study them, we see brusque dismissals.
