The root causes are scientists are experts in operating tools, just like many programmers can write code, it doesnt mean they understand the process.

The medical profession is largely still the snake oil industry it was hundreds of years ago, and Govt legislation enables their monopoly.

I have as little to do with the NHS as possible because these so called experts are experts in minutiae and not the big picture. They prescribe what they have been taught. The Govt/NHS also limits a GP's prescribing ability so private healthcare should be the gold standard not a communist era make work scheme like the NHS.

You try getting a doctor to explain their thinking, most will not, and when you challenge them they go all jihad on you, in a western country of all places!

This just demonstrates cognitive dissonance in what they have been taught, but any country or institution or individual who believes in sky faeries just shows humans can hold some diametrically opposed beliefs which are irrational and should be cause to be struck off any so called professional register!
