You had a very disappointing experience with the use of the term best practices. I understand that fully. We are quite aware of other examples where experts have not been up to dealing with emerging diseases, with different concepts. We're stuck in old models, and apparently we don't know everything yet, so we ought to remain open to examining issues. I understand your frustration.
But we're going to have to call it something. Standards of care can be just as bad, if they won't change, as best practices.
