yes, sometimes established medicine gets things wrong. But we do agree that if you experience chest pain tomorrow you consult the harvard trained cardiologist and not a witch doctor, priest or traditional chinese medicine, correct? General point being, if you weigh "weights of centuries" higher than modern expertise, you would still believe that night air is dangerous and your four humors are out of balance instead of believing in germs. The chance that anyone who posts on HN actually treats their illnesses with ancient religious practice is, I'd wager, very low. And that tells you all there is to it.
