My issue is more of a pet peeve about the use of misleading stats. Talking about the 15 states that do not explicitly require medical accuracy does a great job to flame the fires of indignation without actually meaning much, in my opinion.
I'm fully with you on the rest of it. The point he's driving home is a good one. The episode, as always, is excellently done. Seems we just disagree on whether that stat is misleading, and I'm happy to leave it at that.

Thanks man. Even if we are off on the way the stat was used, it appears we're on the same page with the argument anyway.
