An interesting story that I think I remember reading:
One study found that relatively inexperienced psychiatrists were more accurate at diagnosing mental illness than experienced ones. This is because inexperienced psychiatrists stuck closely to checklists rather than rely on their own judgment, and whether or not a diagnosis was considered "accurate" was based on how closely the reported symptoms matched the checklist. ;)

He should specify where he has read that.
I don't remember. I may have actually heard one of my parents talking about it instead of reading it. So consider it an urban legend.
