    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.

        🐈 They do spend years in med school before they are allowed to kill a patient, though.

        And yet, they are not only more skilled than someone who is not a doctor, but also more so than their younger self. It’s almost as if one can garner more skill through experience.

      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?
