It's like going to the doctor and getting a runny nose diagnosis because you've got a runny nose.
In the end, a diagnosis only helps the patient if it enables a treatment, hopefully an effective one. If you have a cluster of symptoms with two possible causes, and there is no difference in the care for the patient, what's the point of further differential diagnosis?
