Sure. I wasn't disagreeing with that.

I probably didn't express myself properly. I apologize for that.
I would call a doctor intellectually arrogant if they prescribed a
particular brand of medicine and refused to look at any others. I would
call them intellectually arrogant if they dismissed alternative therapy as
"worthless feel-good crap". A doctor should propose solutions to your
problems which include more expensive brands with chocolate coating or less
expensive brands with rough edges.
