I respectfully disagree. In fact, I'd be leery of seeing a doctor who used this program to study in medical school. Diagnosticians should possess an intuitive understanding of medicine. Simply memorizing bits of information won't make them good doctors.
Intutition comes from having enough different patterns in your head.
I didn't said that a propective doctor should spend 100% of their time memorising stuff.

The way medical school is structured everyone has to spent some time memorising stuff that they forget once they are doctors.

Of course the brain goes to physical changes when it does anything. It's no big news unless you still believe in dualism.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
