About what percentage, would you say, of individuals paying income tax are both equipped and inclined to understand all the subtleties of income tax returns? Yet people do pay income taxes and do not look into the possibility of extra amounts paid most often. Only individuals who really care, are willing to dig deep into it.
In my opinion, people who use this service are going to use it because they are genuinely curious about their future health and if it leads to a few false positive, I could live with that and get it checked elsewhere for confirmation.
- aaronem 13y agoIt's interesting you should choose taxes in particular for your analogy; by trivial extension, you cast 23andme as someone who operates as a tax accountant not merely in ignorance, but in outright defiance, of the professional licensure requirements of the field. Libertarian-utopian notions of needless regulatory immurement aside, such requirements exist for reasons amply evident in a study of their origins; in short, without a licensure requirement in such a highly specific and technical realm, incompetents and charlatans of every stripe abound, to the ultimate and severe detriment of all those who would seek the advice of genuine professionals in the field.
