Good on you.

Surgery is not a science, it is a craft that depends on advanced
science.  Learning a craft goes far beyond basic (or even advanced and
highly technical) understanding of how things work.  A degree in
metallurgy will enable you to exercise good judgement about metal
things in your life but will not enable you, by itself, to forge a
good sword or raise a silver teapot.

That would explain the posters who use ALL UPPER CASE to make a
point. :-)
