- linkregister 11y agoI know that disregarding evidence because of association is a fallacy, but can you come up with a better source? I have to strain my memory to think of an accurate article written by the newspaper you linked.

And another from a relatively reputable healthcare company/journal: http://www.healthline.com/health-news/is-da-vinci-robotic-surgery-revolution-or-ripoff-021215#11 http://www.healthline.com/health-news/is-da-vinci-robotic-su...
