Nice in theory. I’m actually married to a doctor. She will quickly explain to Bernard that psychiatry is simply guess work with drugs. This isn’t working so let’s try this instead, or let’s make a new drug milkshake. Psychiatry to medicine is like economics to finance. Guesswork and theory. There is NO engineering/science to it at all.

Until you can make a client react in exactly the same way AT ALL TIMES to the same set of stimuli this area of financial planning will forever be based on intuition, feelings, instinct and education.

To equate it to a science is naive at best.
