Clarification is made of several points raised in a recent critique of a study of Ysseldyke, et al. Although the deceptive nature of the task presented to the subjects may have contributed to spuriously poor performance in simulated decision making, a more fundamental flaw is seen in the focus on individual rather than group performance in evaluating the efficacy of diagnostic teams. It is suggested that the authors' original study does not provide adequate support for their otherwise commendable conclusions.
