Yes, but a lot of people forget the other side of that.

You know what they call it when a doctor gives a treatment based on an unjustifiable hunch (or prodding from a pharma rep) that never gets reviewed because of privacy and unwillingness to criticize other doctors? Medicine.

Just because typical altmed lacks a sound epistemology, doesn't mean the typical doctor has it.
