After conducting an early trial of a new dietary supplement, Dr. Lin found encouraging results. Nevertheless, Lin declined to announce these findings to the media until an independent lab replicated the study, explaining that publicizing unconfirmed claims about health products risks misleading consumers.

Critics wield influence over consumers' choices. To preserve the reliability of their evaluations, any critic who accepts gifts, payments, or other benefits from a company whose products they review must clearly disclose those benefits at the time of review; otherwise their evaluations are not to be considered reliable. However, critics who do not accept such benefits need not make any disclosure for their evaluations to count as reliable.
