Yup. The article presents a luddite’s false dichotomy. Evidenced-based medicine and critical-thinking skills are complementary. Moreover, I’d prefer automation and optimization of as much of the repetitious work as possible... checking drug interactions, CADx comprehensive differential diagnonsis symptoms listing, CADe in radiology as a second-opinion and more.

It is also annoying when professional “priests” commit what amounts to claiming only they have the mystical gifts to interpret what aren’t “tea leaves,” when it’s usually done out of fears of job security, special power and/or change of a legally-protected professional class.
