That's only a deterrent to the extent you can prove it, which is zero.

Nearly every professional I've ever been in a position to independently assess has "rounded in their own favor," often quite heavily, frequently egregiously, and always with a firm rationalization in hand. Psychiatry has especially blurry lines to round -- but you expect me to believe that psychiatrists buck this trend? Frankly, that's ludicrous.
