Is surgery often a last resort, done when less invasive things have been ruled out or cannot be used? Yes. Is the human body the most complex “machinery” that we know, demanding our utmost respect? Is the brain the most delicate part of the body? Probably, yes.(?) Is brain surgery in turn a very delicate procedure that should be approached with a thousand-fold more caution than mere tinkering on human artifacts, such as programming? Yes.
