I guess the motivation behind the journal mentioned in the article.
He chose to publish one paper, fittingly, in the online journal PLoS Medicine, which is committed to running any methodologically sound article without regard to how “interesting” the results may be.
edit: though looking at the site, it doesn't seem to present itself with that motivation. It also costs $2900 to publish an article, so there's some financial hurdle to publishing.
