the people making these incredible discoveries think differently to most "conditioned" doctors. They say this themselves.
I'm not sure "conditioned" is fair comment. In fact, most doctors,(or at least the one I have most respect for," are actually awkward gitts, who take delight in questioning assumptions to better things for their patients.
Perhaps "the people" you talk about are hooked on process. I need outcome. They are different things.
I'm not a doctor, but I am an awkward gitt.
I'm up for helping you appraise a paper if you can send us a link.
