In any scientists-vs-lawyers battle I would be more than happy to let the scientists publish before the lawyers get to have their say. It is possible that this is a complaint on merits but given the past performance of the legal profession in situations like these the chances are much better than even that they are protecting some commercial interest rather than that they are suddenly interested in accurate and factual reporting by scientists.
That is not an accurate description of the situation as far as I can see it. The one group of doctors is a bunch of researchers, the other group is a large corporate entity that makes gobs of money from certain products.
