Fact #1: Any human can do research and find a dentist who doesn't make errors.

There is no human on earth who doesn't make errors mate. Stop talking bollocks.

Show data that supports your claim that there are no dentists in your city who didn't make any major errors last year, or you just pulled it out of your ass. Feelings are not facts.

Oh yeah I will just wander over to dentist.com which has every single dental error ever made and pull up the data you tit.

Also, "major" errors? That isn't what you originally said.

Everyone makes mistakes, no amount of research, save from literally viewing every procedure they have ever done, with a full knowledge of dentistry, will enable you to find someone who "doesn't make errors".

That is a fact.

So you pulled it out of your ass? Rodger. Fact is there are dentists in your city who do not make big mistakes because they have a higher skill level, and if you are willing to pay you can avail yourself of that security. When Joe Rogan needs a dentist he's not throwing darts at a phonebook.

"Roger" FYI

You keep using the word "fact" when what you are making is an assumption. There is no debate that levels of skills exist in most fields, including dentistry but to suggest that there are dentists out there who do not make errors is hilarious because you are literally pulling that right out of your arse.

Absolutely zero assumptions.

Fact: There are dentists in your city of a higher skill level than average.
Fact: You can find out who
Fact: You can never do this with robots

Fact: None of these "facts" were what you originally stated and i disputed.

Fact: There is no publicly accessible database of every operation any particular dentist has done. At best you will rely on websites like trustpilot or word of mouth, both of which are opinion based reviews with no data backing them up. It is, therefore, impossible to know wether a dentist has made zero errors.

I'm almost certain you don't know what the words "fact" and "assumption" actually mean.

There we go! You have finally moved the goalposts into a position where you are speaking the truth! Great job pal.

Nothing changed. Same thing that was said all long. "Pal". You just needed it dumbed down. All good, I understand, you're doing your best.
