If you were in a position where "I'd do it", that means you'd be a high officer at J&J, you'd be a billionaire, or someone who loses their job if they don't obey the billionaire. If you're the employee you care about your job, or you get fired and someone else obeys them anyway, if you're the billionaire you only care about your money

In the context of a researcher, “that's how I'd do it” is basically for scientific integrity and due diligence in the methodology and design of the study.

I'd also add a control group who has never been exposed to talc or other known sources of asbestos to really be thorough.

But I get what you're saying, and it's sad that anyone would be in a position where making good choices would get them in trouble.
