There's an old joke
about a philandering husband caught in the act with the punchline "Who are you going to believe? Your husband or your lying eyes?"
There are several reasons for your neuro to disparage anything that doesn't have "official" approval. Liability. Ignorance. Prejudice. Ego. Peer pressure.
Occasionally (and this is the one that complicates things) it may be due to superior knowledge. But in that case you are entitled toan explanation.
Sometimes you have to fire your doctor. But line up another one first.
