robloxley - on the face of it, yes, sponsored expert opinion is surely due more scrutiny.

But, in my experience doing the PR for Novartis for many years, expert opinions were always, without exception, genuinely held. Indeed, those experts I worked with themselves demanded greater scrutiny of ideas and research put forward in the first instance by drugs companies.

So I think it is probably not overtly sponsored opinions that are due greater scrutiny, but those where the commercial association is not immediately obvious.
