>I touch on this in another comment, but mostly because bio people do not understand math and therefore programming. This is extremely condescending. I know many brilliant biologists who are also great mathematicians, statisticians, and programmers. Anesthesiology isn't really a bio field at all. It's a medical field. A field that doesn't do a lot of cutting edge research. What you describe is engineering, and is likely headed by competent engineers, and funded by said Anesthesiologist. >But they will never understand the math and they do not trust it at all as a consequence. Again. Extremely condescending. The people who researched, designed, and built the machine you describe are likely extremely competent in math. Yet, you are describing the end-user, and from that inferring the designer of the machine to be of the same expertise as the user. Check your assumptions.
