Musson, R.M.W. (2005). Comment by R. M. W Musson on “Comparison between probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and flood frequency analysis”. Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union 86: doi: 10.1029/2005EO390004. issn: 0096-3941.

It must be a rare occurrence to see, in the same scientific newspaper in the space of a little over a year, the same errors repeated by the same authors in two different articles, despite the fact that those errors had been refuted in that newspaper in the interim. I pointed out <Musson, 2004> the fallacies in a paper by Wang et al. >2003<. These errors are now repeated by Wang and Ormsbee <2005>, who refer back to Wang et al. <2003> but not to Musson <2004>. This raises questions about scientific methodc We expect that science proceeds in some sort of forward direction and that errors are not repeated when identified. To see such a repetition as this raises at least the question of how Wang and Ormsbee <2005> were reviewed.
