[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Do you expect a doctor to completely rewrite treatment plans for every patient who tests positive for the flu? There are a limited number of symptoms: fever, chills, aches, vomiting.... and a limited number of likely treatment plans. Sure, the first patient might get a different treatment plan from the second, and maybe the third, but after that there's going to be a pattern of likely symptoms and likely treatment plans. The doctor doesn't need to completely rewrite the book for the 16th flu patient she sees.[/quote]

False analogy.  Teachers are not "treating sick patients" who have viruses or bacteria that are the same.  We are not trying to get rid of a bug.

We are dealing with the mind, not the body.  It's a much more complicated thing than what doctors are dealing with.  It's like fingerprints . . . no two are alike and some are very, very different and some are pretty rare actually.  The flu is very common.  [/quote]

And, the doctor doesn't usually treat 27 patients at the same time in the same room.  [/quote]
