    I've heard that saying twice now, once irl and now here.

    Is this supposed to denigrate physicians? Bc it's no different than saying 50% of chefs suck at making food while 50% are great at cooking.

      I use it to denigrate anyone who is the braggadocios types that think they are amazing just because of their profession.

      I’ve used it to describe software engineers and lawyers as well.

      Isn't it meant as a satire on disingenuous use of statistics?
