Someone drops very specific percentages about diagnostic accuracy....numbers that, if true, have serious implications for patient outcomes, and your concern is that I did not ask nicely enough for a source? I could not think of a more HN typical response...
I did not even call the claim false, even if it almost deserve it...I said, essentially ...let's see the references so we can treat this as fact rather than opinion.
What you did is write a longer and more prescriptive comment about my tone than anything anyone has written about the actual substance :-)). You tone policed a one line request for evidence while giving a complete pass to unsourced medical statistics presented as fact.
If we are ranking things that erode discourse quality, I would say you are higher on the list.

- Betelbuddy 7mo agoThree comments in... and you still have not said a single word about whether radiologists actually catch 35% of diagnoses. But you have found time to call me passive aggressive, entitled, lazy, and immature. For one sentence. Asking for a source... You are now, multiple comments deep, doing the thing you accuse me of...being more invested in tone than substance. The irony is genuinely impressive at this point.
- storus 7mo agoIf you look at early stage diseases it's probably even way less than 35%...

- sethammons 7mo agoThe lack of self awareness you display is impressive. Grade A troll or bot. As someone who sometimes misses things, I find it mildly interesting when someone is so confidently not on the same page as others. Good luck.
- jatora 7mo agoVery unspecific. Zero value comment
- Forgeties79 7mo ago> Calm down You had a point until you did that.
- jatora 7mo agoNah there's no reason to just accept someone's outbursts and not call them out for unsolicited high emotion lol
- Forgeties79 7mo agoYou can’t complain about somebody’s tone/call them passive aggressive and then use intentionally inflammatory language like “calm down.”
