JC has done a gotcha on Gilbert, as is his style when he disagrees with someone's point of view.
But is Gilbert implying that JC and his ike might be the Grand Inquisitors of the 21st century, when they go out of their way to come down heavy on pillory those whom they don't agree with . Specially if they advocate an alternate system of medicine other than "allopathy"? If that is the case, and if (too many if's here!) I'm not reading too much into this, then maybe we could even call for applicants to fill the post of an AK Priolkar equivalent!
