Pretty much outdated junk, from 1989, in the pure-theory
camp of Fackler. Not sure the context of "peer review",
as used here. Peer-review occurs at prior to initial publication
of a scientific study. The cited work is not a study, but an
expression of author's feelings about Fackler's work;
essentially, it's an op-ed.

Fackler, and his followers, seem to have grave concerns
with anyone entering *his* field of authority, let alone having
an alternate approach to the subject matter. Note the final
third or so of the text is comprised of attacks on Marshall &
Sanow's work.

Take your pick. Pure theoretical conjecture, or examination
of actual shootings of subjects in "real life". I know what holds
more water for me.
