First, there is an underlying assumption that reduced fetal growth, shown by infant birth size, among MAT pregnancies could be ‘fully explained by smoking or socio-economic deprivation’. Given the complexity of fetal development and the large variability inherent in the maternal population, it is highly unlikely that any two variables could fully explain any fetal or infant outcome. Thus, the paper proffers a ‘straw hypothesis’ that it then finds deficient. Covarying two fallible covariates runs the clear risk of reaching an incorrect conclusion [2].
