Second, because I know others are not identical to me. Basing my choices solely on some statistical outcome on a pool of patients where I have none of that kind of information, and indeed the doctors involved didn’t take that information, and didn’t factor it into their solutions for their patients, strikes me as throwing out most all of my relevant data and trusting the results produced by a blind man with a shotgun.
Information is relevant only to the extent you can use it. How specifically can you use it to improve on prior provided by studies, and why would that modified estimate be an improvement? (Every improvement is a change, but not every change is an improvement.)
