What experience do you think this doctor has that gave him that knowledge? Where did he read it that missed by all of the rest of the world (because if such findings had been in print they would have seen light)? I think he was just talking out his ass but at the same time I am sure that there are employers who hire based on all sorts of illegal personal (and personell) whims.
