    As regular readers know, “consistent with” is often used for heavy lifting, and Ms. Moritz asks a lot of it here, concluding — these are her, and not Professor Wolfsdorf’s, words — that:

    “In other words, the surest conclusion we can draw from Baby L’s test result is that he was poisoned with insulin.”
