I agree more than disagree. It's the reasonableness and information in an area filled with tons of pseudo-scientific nonsense that's refreshing, 'real doctor' was a colloquialism, but it's not the authority itself that I find important (though it is a point in favor of the information being likely more accurate). Having an MD doesn't make you instantly right, but it does mean you have some background/training that a lay person doesn't. It has some bearing on likeliness of claims being true.
