@eigenrobot There are over 7,000 rare diseases. So the correct metaphor should be something more like: "If you hear hoofbeats, for Christ's sake do not jump to the conclusion that it is the one ungulate you happen to be most familiar with."

@eigenrobot My take is that doctors don't understand statistics, and this causes a lot of surprising downstream problems. For example, the "if you hear hoofbeats, expect horses, not zebras" diagnostic guideline is simply and clearly wrong if you think about it for fifteen seconds.
