Generally agree, but can also see the other side. What you are talking about are people who are using sources like PubMed or even WebMD, etc. These at least help patients as reasonable questions even if they don't fully understand what they read. Then a discussion can take place.

I think what they are talking about are people using terrible sources (garlic curing HIV example). Then demanding that they are right.

So really, what we see here on both sides as the root cause are people who are not interested in a discussion and simply assert they are right. Dangerous if a patient does it, also dangerous if a doctor does it.

The other thing you don't see is how stupid the p05 patient is. Its not someone reading primary sources or coming in well informed. Its someone coming in saying Dr Oz says that eating blueberries cures cancer.
