No, the sales rep is selling the outcome of the knowledge of the medical experts within the company.

In the same way the author was selling the outcome of the knowledge of their algorithm.

The author was selling the outcome of the knowledge of many expert medical researchers, as summarised by the author's algorithm.

As opposed to the sales rep and the medical experts within the sales rep's company, neither the author nor his algorithm have any obvious direct incentive to recommend one medication over another.
