What has brought you to believe that there is any danger at all?
> Public safety requires action to be takenIs your concern theoretical or have you evidence of harm being done?
At the moment, I do not share your concerns. I am unaware of harm being done. Psycho-Babble seems to work. If anything, Psycho-Babble acts as a clearinghouse of information to help promote safety. I have seen it act to catch medical errors on more than one occasion.
