Gullace argues that "the commission was in essence called upon to conduct a mock inquiry that would substitute the good name of Lord Bryce for the thousands of missing names of the anonymous victims whose stories appeared in the pages of the report".
Gullace hævder, at "kommissionen blev i en nøddeskal bedt om at gennemføre en skinundersøgelse, der satte Lord Bryces gode navn i sttedet for tusinder at manglende navne på anonyme ofre, hvis historier optrådte på siderne i rapporten".
