Exactly. And for 90% or more of situations, all lists would likely agree. But if my doctor wants me to take a drug that is whitelisted by only one of the lists and perhaps blacklisted by one, and gray-listed by others, I'd certainly want to dig a bit deeper and fully understand the tradeoffs I was getting into. Some might say that is too much "work" for me as a patient. I'd certainly welcome the chance to have the chance to think about taking something that wasn't an obvious whitelist choice for all. I think the desire on the part of many humans to simply put all their trust in one authority figure our institution comes from the same primitive drive that made our ancestors kneel before emperors and makes some wish to kneel before supernatural emperors.
