I don't think that's accurate. Perhaps it's practically true, but I don't think that's an inherent property of dictatorships. Certainly the original dictatorship was an elected, time-limited office.

The thing to me is, "chiropractic" is quackery. The reputable ones aren't doing chiropractic, and by using the name they're lending credence to an unscientific field.
