No. I said that you are calling those horses "clear" of EIPH using a test which misses that diagnosis 80% of the time. If you don't look for it, you don't find it.
If we did BAL on those horses, they would all show bleeding.
I have posted before the efficacy rate of various testing methodologies for EIPH (BAL vs scope, for example) and you have simply always continued to ignore it exists.
Using an endoscope to diagnose EIPH is like diagnosing chip fractures in the ankles by palpation only, not using radiographs.
