If am a doctor and complain that my patients don't allow themselfs to be injected with a needle it would be pretty premature to call them "anti-medicine" if they take pills without objections. True you can't give pills to an unconcious person and some substanes don't really survive the stomach, so you can't replace needles with pills fully. However as a doctor I am to heal things and it would run counter to my objectives to insist to use only needles (especially if there are people that would not get any treatment). Even if I thought that needles are on average better and that conditions should be improved so that needle use is enabled.

Similarly with sanity insisting on methods can make you tackle a narrower problem than the one you are facing.
