So malpractice insurance rates have no relationship to the performance of those practicing as doctors?

(yep, insurance actuaries just make up numbers)

Practicing medicine doesn't legally require it, as I've said over 1000 times The relevant issue is the track record of physicians who practice in modern times, a record which can be adequately described by. . .

False analogy--a pilot's job doesn't require any original on-the-job scientific analysis (as opposed to what's expected of doctors).

Show me where all the physicians are who are doing this, and in what numbers.

Again, more semantic bullshit word-games to support your 'point'; no one here buys it.

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.
In a specialty field where insight and original thinking can save lives, being a proficient researcher definitely makes one a better practitioner.

And maybe if MP rates didn't top $200K/yr., your notion about doctors' training being sufficient would have some credibility.
