Both argued their sites were chosen out of a combination of necessity, convenience and logic, and both claimed their facilities would serve current patients, not poach them from other hospitals, but the other hospitals disagreed. Taylor said the 37027 question was a "red herring." In the end, the THSDA ultimately ruled to deny both applications.
