You speak of ignorance. I don't think this theoretical ophthalmologist is ignorant of descent of man theory, nor does he deny that populations of bacteria will develop resistance to antibiotics, nor does he deny that ape and man, like man and pig, aren't similar enough that some kinds of transplants are possible. To say that his theorized skepticism towards descent of man theory would detrimentally affect his work one would have to say how this would occur. It what situations do either skepticism or belief in descent of man theory affect ophthalmology. That has not been established.
