> The experts are great until they have a case that is unusual.

But this is true for every thing in the planet. Data modelling, computer programming, building, everything. Name something that the unusual is not more complicated and difficult to do.

Why would anyone think that it would not be true for the health field??

I think the problem is people think health is magical and everything is known. Because they choose not to educate themselves.

The problem is most doctors have absolutely no humility and will never admit to not knowing something. I don't see that behavior among engineers.

That is incredibly surprising.

Really? Because I see it a lot in "engineers" in tech. They're right, you're wrong and that's how it plays out.

I mean that behavior is literally HN incarnate, so you might be exhibiting exactly that in this comment.
