Certain treatments have outcomes with high variance even when practiced perfectly.
Combined with no clear way to evaluate whether the treatment is being applied well, this makes it difficult for practitioners and patients to evaluate treatment quality. Which discourages expertise development in the first place (why bother working really hard when the results are hard to pin down anyway?).
