Dr. Gerber points out that we have been scammed by Sutton or by whomever quoted him. As he suggests, one option is to rename Sutton's Law as Dock's Law, but we pay a high price in color for our increased accuracy. Several physicians wrote to me directly, with thanks for confirming their belief that there is more to medicine than what we know of science. One writer also pointed out the error in my statement about Sutton. He thought it was an Escherian reinforcement of the need to critically analyze lore and accepted practice.
False assumptions lurk everywhere.
