This being said, unfortunately, for every awesome, smart and knowledgable person, there are tens and hundreds of people researching their cough on the internet and wasting everybody's time.
That being said, yes, the system could certainly be improved in most countries. A hard part is managing responsibilities. The doctor you go to has the responsibility of giving you sound advice to the best of his (and hopefully the scientific community's) knowledge.
If he did not follow the methods laid out by standard care, he would not be doing that. He would be irresponsible. Of course, there are always things that are on the fringe but would be beneficial, but then again, who knows, he might just kill a group of people down the road because he gave a fringe treatment to the wrong crowd.
Now to the point you rose for your own situation: it seems that your GP seems to be making it fairly simple for you (in a good way). Or was that a hypothetical scenario with the quick rubber stamp and so on?
It's essentially the Ubisoft Route (Assassins Creed 2 et al) that everybody was incredibly critical of, and they actually removed it by now.
But when golden boy Blizzard pulls shit like that, suddenly everybody is like "Awwww, yeah Diablo!" and I see only few criticisms about the always-online system. (compared to Ubisoft)
One of the reasons I heard for the missing offline single player was "Cheating vs. Real Money Auctionhouse". This seems fallacious to me. Just provide an offline mode that is completely separate from the online part and also separate from the Auctionhouse.

I think that Jeff's point is more valid if you look at it from the customer's view.
edit: in the readme there is even a django example.
interesting situation, the whole thing (i'm saying this as someone standing completely outside, looking in)
I don't know the demographic of her project, but if this connects with them, the wording of this seems perfectly okay to me.
[1]: I guess that depends on opinion. YMMV
One improvement could be to either fade out (and fade in on mouseover) or darken the 3,4,5 block (numbers from the link).
This would have the effect of either hiding the block so you could be drawn to the menus below (where the real info lies), or to make it stick out more, so your eyes could use it as a point of reference.
right now it all kind of melds together.
Incidentally, daenz is also correct. Albeit with a little addition to what he says:
"There is no changing everyones behaviour in a matter of days."
Which means that daenz's suggestion is the "best" (as in "highest gain") solution in the short run. It is not incompatible with simultaneously trying to change people's behaviour in the long run.
