Hi,

Yes I follow that. Here is a thought. When a person is ill and not getting better, they often say that they would like 'a second opinion'. Now, that would fit in with opinion having a high status in some settings, as you say.

To me, a second opinion from a doctor about another doctor's diagnosis or treatment would certainly be about the diagnosis or treatment.
