I really don't understand what point you tried to make. The whole point of scientific papers is to gather and document findings in a way to be subjected to critical analysis and serve as food for thought. From your own example, which unfortunately is completely unsubstantiated, documenting symptoms reported by patients is a good starting point to form hypothesis to be verified or rejected.
