I'm not looking forward to being treated by an autodidact dentist, but to each their own.

I'll take the autodidact, you take the student fresh out of college with no practice :)

I'd imagine there's plenty of practice in college, and it's supervised practice so that more experienced people can point out areas to improve on.

Fortunately, those aren't the only two choices.

They sure do at Harvard or MIT. That’s the point.
