"Allergists' opinions differed on food challenge outcomes"
http://www.healio.com/allergy-immunology/drug-food-insect/news/online/%7Bb3ef0bc8-6e02-4858-b717-8262a6d0848c%7D/allergists-opinions-differed-on-food-challenge-outcomes?utm_content=buffer0c2de&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

QuoteThe researchers presented the score sheets of 191 double blind placebo-controlled food challenges for peanut performed in a Dutch academic hospital from 2008 to 2010 to three clinical experts in food allergy.
QuoteThe occurrence of subjective symptoms [including abdominal complaints and oral allergy symptoms] was associated with disagreement within observers, whereas disagreement was never present when respiratory symptoms occurred.

I do admit bringing in parallels from left field.  In that spirit it strikes me as not dissimilar to most of the successful constitutional challenges against drug detection dogs: the handler's ability (or lack of it) to properly interpret the canine's signals and resulting decisions to detain/search.
