One can say, of course, there are times when someone ignorant of the
science has a sudden insight that can be a breakthrough, but as my
daddy taught me, that's not the way to place your bets. The chances of
that are much less likely than connecting when drawing to an inside
straight: maybe winning the lottery is a better example.
The good news is, Mx makes his pontifications in a newsgroup where
there are both experts and facts available. His kind of pseudo
knowledge is more dangerous in soft science areas: for some reason
psychology comes to mind.
Well, be fair, even the best psychologists are only making it up as they
go along.
in addition, who better to comment on psych probs than someone who's not
only seen 'em all, but had 'em all as well.

Sorry BtB, but we actually have modalities with proven results now,
and the side effects are less severe than the psychotropic meds that
had often been used.
In terms of treatments, though, there are some here who present with a
constellation of symptoms that cry for an applied lobometry.
Applied with a hammer.
