So, while you are correct, you are missing an important piece:

most people cannot think like this

I'm not talking about patients, I'm talking about everyone, including doctors. They just can't think in a probabilistic sense. And you'll counter that it's just reporting facts, but they don't even know which ones to report to you, how to report them, none of it. It just doesn't seem to fit in many peoples heads.

Fair enough. It's a depressing thought but you're probably right.
