I agree for an additional reason: critical thinking and root cause analysis. I am not going to go into detail but a family member had several years of misdiagnoses because she has a lot of weird symptoms don't fit a common disease pattern. After being correctly diagnosed with a blood test, once in awhile she will still be told by a doctor that she has something else. Even when shown the results of the blood test, they persist in their nonsense. A scientist would never think they are right when there is objective evidence to the contrary.

("There are virtually no problems" can mean anything from "we're just overly cautious" to "it's a coin flip if you won't be worse off after" - and nobody is willing to attach a percentage, or talk about false negatives vs. false positives)
