I’d raise the bar to top 0.1%, or better yet, not make it an absolute cutoff. Physicians and engineers fall in the 1% and I have to believe many of them are highly skilled, driven by subject matter, and desire to do good for humanity.

i've met too many physicians to agree with your analysis of them

Many, sure. But the number of qualified doctors in my area shilling antivax nonsense has colored my perception.

I've talked to far too many engineers to give them any sort of normal leeway.
