>This is a standard medical test I have completely given up on any doctor to perform accurately. I do it myself at home once or twice a month. I do it with the same device, in the same chair, at the same desk, the same time of day, after I’ve ate and drank the same thing.

You are assuming the average patient is this careful about measuring their BP, or anything about their health. You are also assuming the average patient measures their BP correctly, which is obviously untrue as evidenced by some other comments on this post. You are also assuming patients always tell the truth about their own measurements.

>We don’t need doctors with extremely limited datasets to do this and try to find obscure correlations for us.

I don't understand what you mean by this. None of us finds obscure correlations with limited datasets. We don't diagnose someone over a single BP measurement.
