Alternatively a cat might say FF is a dynamic multi-threaded application 
written by large teams of programmers, many transient, and therefore not 
surprisingly sometimes in the organized chaos and unpredictability of it 
all unexpected things can happen. Just a thought. Cats are crazy like 
that. Thinking. I know, it's a Darwinian dead end.

Well let's hope it works out better than their move to India. Don't bet 
the business on that.

I think we might agree on this. To be fair, the right Doctor is light 
years ahead on diagnosis but for example GPs are generally average at 
say Dermatology because many conditions look the same. I know you are 
special but most aren't.

So in my humble opinion always get a diagnosis from a Doc and if it's 
stubborn or important from the best consultant you can afford. Figuring 
out who is the best though... difficult.

In the spirit of cat fairness I have to say that AI is kinda good though 
for background info once you have a diagnosis, and with caveats 
depending on the condition, researching self help alternative or 
complimentary treatments.
