This is true, but I wonder if GP spoke naively about inducing symptoms that are similar enough that we can learn about what triggers those symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals.

Kind of like how we were "lucky" to get a guy with a railroad spike through his brain to learn about how brain damage affects personality and impulsiveness..
