That is more or less my understanding. This person clearly feels comfortable with his own work. His choice. I would never inject his homebrew, and I would not trust my own understanding enough to do this myself. I don’t think that makes me naive.

What I think this highlights is the perceived role and efficacy of regulation in society. Social media, for example, is going through a regulatory discussion, and given its growing role in matters of consequence I don’t think it beyond the pale to consider regulating it. We made that decision about medicine long ago, and I’d assert we are better for it.
