faulty and unreliable information from Luis Lema of Le Temps (Switserland)

I added this in the talk page on the main article. I think it is also valid here.

This text (in the main article):

According to the Swiss expert team (including notably experts in radio-chemistry, radio-physics and legal medicine), on a probability scale ranging from one to six, death by polonium poisoning is around five.[178]

is based on a texte of an article of Luis Lema in Le Temps.

It is even a falsification of what is written, because it is Luis Lema who puts this sentence in the mouth of the Swiss team without their agreement, whereas the Swiss team itself published a scientific document explaining why there isn't any probabilistic data available

http://www.chuv.ch/ira/ira-arafat-faq.pdf

Why did we use a Bayesian analysis and why doesn't the conclusion estimate the probability that Mr. Arafat was poisoned by polonium?

and

In this sense, these results do not then define the probability to which Yasser Arafat would have been poisoned by polonium

When a journalist writes such a stub, should not all references to his article(s) be withdrawn? Realitychecking (talk) 08:47, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A remarkably poor article, a case of "too many cooks spoil the broth"

This is a motley collection of comments written over many years, confused and confusing, and much too long. This is fertile ground for conspirationists. I would delete almost all the comments relative to the years 2005-2014. Experts and courts arrived at conclusions in France in 2015. I would give a large weight to this and to reactions and subsequent developments, after deleting 90% of the article. TGcoa (talk) 20:49, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
