I don't even work in software, but it just makes sense considering most of what they do is looking up factoids in a textbook. They frequently misdiagnose or let things slip by because there's just no way for humans to memorize that many books.

That's a little like saying software developers spend all day googling for syntax. The "factoids" aren't very useful unless you know how to put them together and what to do with them.

It's a very different kind of knowledge retrieval, i.e. knowledge about something as opposed how to do something. Your example doesn't really fit.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Well that sure is substantive.

Wow.

Who knew that medicine and library science were the same thing? Come to think of it, I bet librarians could replace lawyers, too. Just need to teach them to shout "objection" and be jerks in the coffee room, right?

You be smug as much as you like, but there's a reason why they say medical school is mostly memorization.
