Specialists can be so stupid. I think doctors don’t get enough sleep. Somehow they end up extremely disconnected from their customers’ actual needs.

Blows my mind that they wouldn’t think to tell you this. Why wouldn’t they have a checklist of things to cover? Any appliance salesman is going to have a list of things he tells you when you’re packing up a new dryer to take home. Why is that schlub taking his job more seriously than a doctor?

I honestly don’t get it. Part of me suspects the white lab coats interfere with a sense of shared experience. Kinda like the doorway effect, but with clothes.

You're overthinking this. Company decided to cheap out to raise profits, so they changed the formula for something that will last X years instead of XX years and hoped no one would notice.
