My car’s check engine light came on and a costly mechanic visit didn’t find any problems so we decided to remove the check engine light.

That's not an appropriate analogy for more reasons than I care to relate here. Suffice to say that if you believe that the engine check light is the equivalent to a positive cancer test that you probably should stay out of medicine ;)

And maybe out of your garage as well...

Why are you responding to random commenters on HN as if they are the ones getting ready to go out and start writing the official policy of a country?

Discussion is good. It's ok for people to be wrong and disagree. I'm not even saying they are wrong, but if they were- do you really need to go around telling everyone that some opinion that crossed their mind over a cup of morning coffee would be a disaster if implemented as national policy?
