I don't have time to type an essay but I have been in this field for years and it's simply true.

Please trust the opinions of people who have tried to do this work. There are many people trying to advance medical research in good faith who can attest to the insane inefficiencies of working with medical data.

I have also been in this field for years and the allure of "open medical data" magically accelerating medical research very much does NOT feel true to me.

Skip the essay but at least give me three or four sentences why I should feel differently?
