I'm starting to get the impression that you're simply trolling here (I know I know, calling that out is verboten on HN but I stand behind it), but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt one more time. Would you prefer a doctor who only treats the symptoms, and derives perverse pleasure from inflicting pain on the patient in the process? Or rather one who focuses on the disease itself and seeks a permanent cure? Because you are clearly the former, not the latter. You have a laser focus on the effect, when you should be attacking the cause. If you can't or won't see that, I don't know what else to say.
