Publish a paper with better validity and reliability then
Of course. it's relevant. People can argue over what is and is not a plausible result, but to say that one's considerations of plausibility don't matter is to turn one's back on critical thinking about what's in the literature.

How about this. I know you don't think your assessment of the plausibility of Makary's estimates for death by medical error matters. However, I want to know it anyway? Do you consider his estimates to be plausible and why or why not?

ah, so just my conjecture then? Sure, I think their estimates, and all the other estimates I have seen thus far, are unlikely. My gut feel is that medical errors account for somewhere north of 40,000 deaths a year. But again, my gut isn't a study, my gut isn't an estimate

No. There is no link between the likelihood of something and the strength of ones feelings about plausibility.
