No sarcasm intended.

Misunderstanding probably due to my incomplete grasping of the English 
language and Anglosaxon culture (English was my 5th language at school after 
German, Spanish, Latin and French - honestly - and I was never interested in 
it beyond Internet participation until I moved to Australia 9 years ago)

Was meant as an introductory statement - I did not want to belittle you or 
state the obvious with the following sentences that would have been obvious 
to clinicians. Thought that introductory statement was clarifying that I am 
not boring my colleagues with the obvious but explaining a non-clinician 
(you) what might not be obvious to him

For all it is worth, those arguments (and many others) have been repeatedly 
brought forward, published and discussed on many occasions and in many fora 
that involved attendance by politicians and bureaucrats, but never made any 
impression (eg during my time as active GPCG MC member)
