The classic curse of people with bad judgment, getting everything they wanted and hating it, but never having the good judgment to see it, so they never deviate from always choosing what they end up hating because they can't even perceive of their role in this, instead they are always the victim.
Personally I think we should rather listen to people with a good track record, and ignore those with a terrible one instead of putting them in charge, but I'm just weird like that.

BBC Morning Live covered the new £4.75m UK government funded #MEcfs genetics study yesterday, which will sequence 6,000 DNA samples as part of the wider DecodeME project.
Unfortunately, Dr Oscar Duke @DrOscarDuke said Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is “probably the best way to describe” the illness.

It's one of the worst possible ways to describe the illness!
It leads to so much stigma and confusion. I felt ill when I was mild. Like I always had a cold or was getting over one. And even when I was so exhausted I would have to rest in bed I primarily felt really f-king ill! So it took me much longer to understand I probably had 'cfs'. You could plausibly call dozens of other serious conditions chronic fatigue syndrome by their logic.
It's pathetic they still won't get the basics right.

Well, then it's only reasonable to call this person-imitation Doctor Puke, and if he disagrees with that then he can stuff it because it's just how the world rolls, we can name things however we want, even if it's inaccurate, even if the people on the receiving end disagree on multiple grounds, including its inaccuracy.
What would person-imitation Doctor Puke think of Chronic Shaking Syndrome as "probably the best way to describe" the illness otherwise known as Parkinson's disease? Because it's every bit as wrong, and it turns out that words matter, and that experts should be concerned with accuracy.
