The data availability statement in this article undermines its entire premise.

> We did not publish our raw data along with the manuscript because it could be understood that we are publicly shaming authors who did not want to share their data. As for the raw data that were received during this study, we informed our study participants that those raw data will be deleted after being examined and that all data and communication will be treated with strict confidence.




There's a big difference between explicitly denying to share data for justified ethical reasons, and saying you will share the data and then failing to follow through.

There is absolutely no contradiction here.


The concern of “shaming” is not a justified ethical reason.
