Abstract	Apart from the focus on error correction for language accuracy in L2 writing being very narrow, the author argues that research design questions are much more important than statistical analyses, very often used to hide defects in the research. Furthermore, since error correction in L2 writing has a fundamental pedagogical purpose, it is necessary to situate research into L2 error correction in writing not only contextually, but also within a decision-making framework, which was the point in the author's earlier article (Bruton, 2009a). In addition to questioning many of Truscott's arguments, including psycholinguistic, psychological, social and pedagogical issues, the author believes there are two fundamentally different research questions: Is teacher response to errors alone in L2 writing necessarily the best feedback or the worst feedback for improvement in the accuracy of future L2 writing?
