So, to take a random example that I have not looked at, what would a public relations firm hired by the maker of Lipitor be trying to accomplish? And what is the result if they are skillful in terms of having collaborative editing skills? Is this now, or could it develop, as a specialized profession? Is this different from an agent of Meg Whitman, Fruit Loops, the Anglican Church, the government of Iceland? Or are they all just another anonymous editor? Does disclosure of conflict of interest actually make sense?
