Maybe it is not a bad idea to make post print reviews, white papers,
instructions to authors etc. etc. But I think al of this will be mainly for
our own use. "Normal" scientist will probably never know that such stuff
even exists.

I think that the only way to make scientist aware of the problems thay may
encounter when generating cytometric datas is to infiltrate their meetings
and conferences and have the guts to stand up and tell them that what they
are showing on that slide is just bullshit. If that happens a few time they
will certainly have a closer look at what they are doing.

Though, I do not think they will take us very seriously if we just tell
them that they have mislabelled the axes.
