🔥🥵🍲Hot take here:

there’s a big difference between the scientific understanding of the human body (and its pursuit) and the healing arts;

Dare I say, even — they are completely contradictory.

A 🎾 tennis player doesn’t need to be a master physicist or manually perform advanced equations in order to win a match. While his skills might benefit from refinement bestowed by the physicist’s understanding, he also might intuitively and pragmatically understand something through the practice of his art that the phsyicist has yet to discover, much less articulate or define.

Thus begging the question, if this is true:

what is the justification for the promulgation and pursuit of such knowledge, other than scholarship? To what end or degree does it aid the healing-artist?

Isn’t it reasonably possible that good tennis players are more necessary than sports-castor? Or that at least each should perform their proclaimed roles accordingly? Rather than be left with an empty, static court full of sports-commentators?
