Modern surgical instrumentation and techniques don't come out of the blue. They are simply the nth iteration to try to fix all observed problems with previous instrumentation. They represent answers or potential answers to the problems seen with the earlier instruments. There is probably no end to the tweaking. So the honest question is... are they still all better than no surgery? That answer will converge for many people based on what is known now. For some, surgeons will disagree. Surgery is too risky for some folks but not the great majority it seems.
Surgeons and researchers are the only ones honestly putting their data out there. That's because nobody else has any data, in some cases after decades. That right there is your leap of faith. It is disingenuous to attack the only game in town when we have bunnies who need help.
Science, more than just a good idea.
