>it's about the integrity. My assumption is that any person taking shortcuts like this to get their degree will also take shortcuts with my personal health, which is not a comforting thought.
You're making generalizations based on proxy information, which is basically the same thing that a test does you're just using a different set of information to key off of.
Not that there isn't some signal in the pile of noise that you're picking through but a willingness to circumvent academic requirements isn't exactly a strong indicator of performance in the field. Competent professionals fudge requirements they consider to be irrelevant all the time (inb4 no true Scotsman).
- shukantpal 5y agoThese are reasonable generalizations.
- blowski 5y agoIf someone’s caught cheating in an exam, I’d say the burden of proof is on them not me. Especially if they’re intending to affect my health.
- Ensorceled 5y agoCompetent professionals don't fail standardized tests 10 times before fudging the 11th try.
- wizzwizz4 5y ago> Competent professionals fudge requirements they consider to be irrelevant all the time (inb4 no true Scotsman). That's because they know more than the people who wrote the requirements, because the requirements were written 15 years ago when the medical profession as a whole knew a lot less about $INSERT_CONDITION_HERE. You'll also notice that those requirements are explicitly written to permit fudging. “Two or more of the below”, “most of these”, “one or more”, “or other reason” etc..
