In which case Dr Rob will lose his source of income.

A Colonial guide at Williamsburg told us that the "professions" were
originally jobs in which the person "professed" to want one end when
actually achieving that end in full would put him out of business.  Does a
doctor *really* want all illness to end?  Does a lawyer *really* want total
accord among individuals?  Does a minister *really* want a complete end to
sin and suffering?  Do lactation consultants *really* want every woman to
bf with total success?  I hope we do, but perhaps we'd also better be
learning how to sell vacuum cleaners... and not the kind that are
guaranteed to run forever.
