I Went to 50 Different Dentists: Almost All Gave a Different Diagnosis

It's not just the dental industry that's like this. A lot of medicine is subjective, and a lot of doctors have poor "debugging" skills and do the equivalent of print statements to try to diagnose an issue (guess and check).

I also found this with accountants. My tax affairs are semi-complicated, and every accountant I speak with has a totally different approach and advice. I think if I went to see ten, none of the advice would overlap.

I think that's more in the domain of tax attorneys than accountants.

I might expect more when it comes to my health, though

Sometimes that's the best and cheapest way to diagnose.
