Citation needed. I've been working on a debugger for the blockchain for the past 6 weeks. Comparing it to doctors is lacking, at best.

Do you mean debuggers are more advanced beyond comparison (my opinion; but tomography is closest to a medical debugger IMO), or vice versa?

The necessity of having tools like MRI available to doctors can't be underestimated. Yet comparing doctors because of their use of tools such as sectioning to the complexeties of cloud distributed debugging on the blockchain can only yield unsatisfactory results.
