Includes book reviews and unpublished papers, which are often more revealing than the published ones
At the end of ‘Research implications of science-informed, value-based decision making’ (2004) I noted that it was drawn from a much longer manuscript, with a final section specifically elaborating on the argument directed at the Precautionary Principle. This manuscript was never submitted for publication and is posted now, deliberately unchanged, because the argument remains just as relevant in the world of Covid 19, where it is currently resurfacing.

the current and conventional scoring system for the heptathlon, like that for the men’s decathlon, both infringes a fundamental principle of all sporting competitions and is inequitable in relation to the multiple disciplines involved. The fundamental principle breached is that only the relative performance of the competitors on the day (or days) is relevant to the outcome. Inequity arises when the best performer in each of the multiple disciplines is not rewarded equally and the disciplines are therefore not weighted equally.

Includes the conception of the Quality-Adjusted Unit of Time and a fortiori the QALY (p39)
…”qualitative time remains an essentially quantitative concept, additive with quantitative time, and the weights could be regarded as representing the percentage ability to dispose freely of the given unit of time among chosen activities.”

“The central idea on which this paper is built was first proposed by Dowie [7]. He suggested that neither life nor health is appropriately valued directly. Rather, the demand for either should be regarded as a demand derived immediately from “time” and ultimately from all things involving time as an input… “
