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,

I have occasionally spoken to my brother (pediatrician) about this. My understanding is that it is true that most of the studies have some issues, and mostly there just haven't been that many studies.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that the concern is overblown, it just means that nobody really knows whether it is overblown or not.
