Hypothetically a person can give an opinion before looking at the details because Bell&McDiarmuid are proposing an
ATM ... 
... idea - which means that their statistical analysis must be flawed. It is a wise course of action to load up on Vitamins BB, DE and DM before reading any ATM papers. It helps to keep your immunity to ATMuenza strong.
Tang and Zhang - on the other hand - have provided a statistical analysis supporting the
mainstream ... 
... position. Their statistics must therefore be right and will provide a healthy dose of mainstream fiber to keep your system properly functioning. So you see - just based upon what they are claiming it is very clear who will of course be right.
That would be one reason that you might give an opinion without having looked at the papers in detail - but there can certainly be other equally legitimate reasons. I'm just offering up one that comes to mind and may happen in some cases - although that is in no way an implication that that is what is happening here.
