i think he’s saying two things:

1. more training for sales reps. perhaps even a master’s level degree devoted to this field.

2. better standards for the experiments that lead up to conclusions on the drugs’ actual effectiveness. this doesn’t have anything to do with the sales rep, but i think it’s a point he’s making, and i understand.

calm down a bit, i think you’re taking a lot of this thread personally b/c your bro’s a sales rep.
