In rehab hospital I hadsnapped at physiatrist when he was thinking aloud what therapy to prescribe and what would be good for me, I had told him you are doctor, you should do what is best for me, and how will I know, its not my field, now in computers and programming language, I won't come and ask you which way toi write my program, I will do it and make decision myself.
