Yes. My point was that disproportionate channeling of optimism isn't something specific to medicine (let alone to evidence-based medicine).
EDIT: Hmm, I guess I originally took "disproportionally" to mean "compared to how much other things channel optimism" whereas it'd make more sense to interpret it as "compared to how much medicine channels pessimism".
