Rosen doesn't get into this, but I think there's a lot more scientific doubt on CTE than media coverage/discussion lets on.

That's one thing that's always bothered me, these studies seem to reek of compositional problems. IIRC one of our resident doctors (BC? dagbiv?) has spoken about this from a more educated perspective than mine, but whenever I see "95% OF NFL PLAYERS HAVE CTE" and it turns into "95% of NFL players who had symptoms bad enough that they merited testing had CTE" upon closer reading I'm just skeptical about how pervasive the problem actually is. Someone really needs to come up with a non-fatal test for it...
