With him classifying all MDs as idiots, no it is not asinine.

I’ve known few academic physicians that would turn down data if it can be ethically obtained.

The difference between the medical profession and, say Google, is that we as a general rule do not consider the populace one big lab to experiment on as we please. The consequences are more than a little different.

It’s not like things were always this way in medicine either.
