Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Not a boundary.
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Don't interrupt.
The witness, Prof. A. Grotto: I'm referring to my professional field, I'm talking about trying to characterize whether there's a connection between exposure and outcome. Not to say, I mean, that's the goal of the study.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: OK, I mean you, what you really are, if I, if I understood you correctly You say that I am not an expert on pollution in Haifa and I don't know about the sources of pollution in Haifa. You mentioned pollution from transportation, right?
The witness, Prof. A. Grotto: I know that there is pollution from transportation in Haifa, I know that there is pollution from industry and I know that there is also pollution.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: You also know there's pollution.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Don't interrupt.
The witness, Prof. A. Grotto: I know that there are also smokers in Haifa. I know that in Haifa they don't smoke more than in other places in the country. I know that too.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: Is this according to what question? According to which test?
The witness, Prof. A. Grotto: According to data from the Ministry of Health
[....]
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: But you don't really know if there are more people there who smoke a box and a half a day, because you haven't checked it.
The witness, Prof. A. Grotto: There are also questions about quantities, yes, I didn't ask the quantities, but...
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: You haven't checked the quantities
The witness, Prof. A. Grotto: Okay, but I know like the data.
Adv. Dr. Tal Rotman: You don't.
Adv. Mr. A. Amorai: Let him answer!
The Honorable Judge D. Chasdai: Please. Just let it finish, ask whatever you want.
The witness, Prof. A. Grotto: Look, I'm not (it's not clear) because in the framework of the Health Ministry's surveys and surveys that are also conducted through the military, even when I was in the army, we conducted surveys for recruits, they are based on a questionnaire that also includes an analysis of data regarding quantities. I mean, you also look at quantities and comparisons, I assume that if there was such a finding of quantities sometimes it could be an exception and someone would publish it, so I can assume that it wasn't, there would be no finding in this framework. Once again, these are questions that are asked. A series of questions about smoking and ultimately in the nature of things when you write a summary, then you write the main question.
