Yawn. More baseless claims based on opinion that itself is based on non-quantifiable characteristics. I assure you, insurance actuaries do no have an 'idiot' table that they use in their calculations.

Practicing science professionally requires original research experience.

What utter pedantic bullshit. Practicing medicine most certainly does not require this, as the vast majority of physicians over human history have shown. Your word games are transparent and meaningless.
You're saying that all pilots who aren't doctorates in avionics or physics are not
really flying and it's outrageous they call themselves pilots.

But clearly, someone who doesn't understand science wouldn't know what I was talking about.

Take you, for example.
I know all about science. What did you want me to clear up for you?

If they have no Ph. D. and also no publications in any journals and/or no patents/innovations/original contributions to the field of medicine, then they're not real doctors, period. Standards are high, life's tough.

Show me where all the physicians are who are doing this, and in what numbers.
Quote:
Of course it's a no-brainer that anyone w/an M. D. can legally practice as a specialist, but that doesn't make that person a real doctor, no more than being elected/appointed Pres makes one a real leader--a fact that's become brutally obvious to Americans after 8 years.

Again, more semantic bullshit word-games to support your 'point'; no one here buys it.
Quote:
The truth is that doctors typically don't get paid significantly more for them to train in MD-Ph. D. programs or get their Ph. Ds after their MDs. The financial incentive doesn't exist, so they don't bother. So many "specialists" just stick w/their M. Ds (do no research) and practice dummy medicine while their patients are screwed over.

It's obvious you know nothing about how the field of medicine works, or sciene in general. There are researchers and their are practioners, and their worlds almost never exist at the same time, in the same place, although they complement each other.
Quote:
However, anyone who calls himself a physician and doesn't think original research ability is relevant to the daily practice of medicine is 100% clueless. I have zero tolerance for anyone who calls himself competent in a professional field that requires original thinking but has no record of engaging in it.

I have zero tolerance for people such as yourself who bray on and on endlessly about things they are tragically pig-ignorant of.
