    Has anyone ever told you that you might receive an operation by a surgeon who had trained for only one month?

    Is the hypothetical threat captured in your scenario relevant, credible, or realistic in relation to the particular distinctions from the context?

      They were just demonstrating that the labor of the surgeon does actually require more skill. Because it does, objectively.

      With the term ‘training’ I mean all job relevant education. As in, a surgeon whose entire medical education happened within 1 month, not a surgeon who graduated med school and then was trained for 1 month as a surgeon.

      Is the hypothetical threat captured in your scenario relevant, credible, or realistic in relation to the particular distinctions from the context?

      Yes, it illustrates that for some tasks, training is more essential than for other tasks. Also, why are you asking that?

        You know medical training is on the job hands on and every doctor is expected statistically to kill someone, not simply not save someone but actively lead to their death in one way or another.

        The issue relates to whether various kinds of skill express a natural ranking .

        Has any suggestion genuinely produced, as a credible concern, the scenario you described, or was it rather constructed as a bogeyman that would obstruct even criticism that is substantive and germane?
