<p>I'm reviewing a paper for publication at the moment and I find the statistical methods in it quite questionable. But I've only got limited experience and don't want to call them out on something that isn't actually wrong either. So I'm wondering about the best way to ask for help on the main site. That is,(a) is it even ok to ask the equivalent of "Am I right that you can't analyse X using Y?", (b) how do I best go about keeping confidentiality, and (c) are there any other tips for how to best deal with this sort of problem on CV?</p>
