I find the omission of the term "face reading" from the punch line "medical face reading" to be a curious editorial choice

My intention was to chop out everything about the "whites below the eyes" version of it, because it's the "whites above the eyes" variant that is relevant to the discussion above. This kind of analysis is not medical at all, it's "traditional medicine". If "traditional medicine" were real medicine, it wouldn't be called traditional. To call something "Chinese/Japanese medicine" amounts to the same, not real medicine. If "Chinese/Japanese medicine" were real medicine, it would just be called medicine.

Also I said after that quote that it's not scientific, but it nevertheless seems true. That's my editorial take.
