This is pretty silly to me. All medical knowledge can potentially be proven wrong. Are doctors supposed to add an asterisk to every single thing they say?

In particular, they should be careful not to suggest to patients that certain damage to the body is always permanent and thus there is nothing they can do to promote their own healing. In any case I should have made clear that I was referring mostly to researchers, not your run of the mill practicing doctor.
