    When we look at passing scores, is there any way to quantitatively grade them for magnitude?

    Not all bad advice is created equal.

      The grading is a mess. It goes about qualitative, quantitative… and statistical corrections “to make it fair”.

      Anyway, there is ~30% margin on the scores for passing, so chances are that 9% is better than the worst doctor who still “passed”.

        I’d hope the bar for medical advice is higher than “better than the worst doctor”.

        Will be interesting to see where liability lies with this one. In the example given, following the advice could permanently worsen patients.

        Given that the advice is proven to be wrong and goes against official medical guidance for doctors, that could potentially be material for a class action lawsuit.
