What constitutes a decent doctor? Why couldn't one just figure out if they
knew what they were talking about? What is "trial-and-error" about looking up
the Consumer Reports article on the local state of medecine? And most of all,

a)isn't what we currently have in both medicine and education, or b)would
result in worse than what we have?
