Dr. Quitkin was one of my doctors when I was being treated at Columbia Presbyterian in 1982-1983. He has had a long and consistent career directing the unit. He has seen or included in his investigations the cases of *thousands* of patients. I'm sure he was just putting into black-and-white an investigation to help substantiate what his 30+ years as a professional have taught him. I doubt he would risk his career at this juncture. I don't know for sure, though.
* Note that the majority of people were treated with first generation antidepressants, and not SSRIs.
