Abstract
At the end of a long life, there are too many old haunts to revisit, but by chance I encountered the paper by Heetfeld and colleagues,1 which challenged the idea that skin of people with atopic eczema is supersensitive to irritants. That was surprising, and therefore interesting; so I read it. But, to my further surprise, the study showed no such thing: the authors had come to the wrong conclusion, by reliance on methods and concepts that I thought had been seen off long ago.
