That, it is.

Yes, but I'll take my chances with someone who has the foundational knowledge to be able to understand the studies.

I'm sure there are many physicians who don't fully understand the statistics behind the studies; but they at least have the knowledge to interpret the statistical results presented by those who do.

When I look at these reports I just have no idea what the technical jargon means. It would be like me going to my physicians and trying to discuss Nondeterministic Finite Automata with him; he'd think I was speaking a foreign language.
