So they keep adding numbers.

Now there's a thought that system really understands you now.

Why?

Because it's giving you 10

No, the system does not understand you in its desire to understand you by giving you more numbers.

It steps further and further away from understanding you.

Right.

And if we step back from that and we say, just as an example, a person is having depression and depression is rooted in part in some biological facets and some childhood trauma and some adult trauma, perhaps combat trauma.

It's making this up.

This may not be your diagnosis, but let's say we look at it that way or there's trauma driven issues in this person.

We could capture that in a narrative.

We could give it a number if we want.

But then we're being respectful to you by not thinking we're going to capture you in a bunch of numbers.

Right.

We might say, OK, you're having mood issues or you're having post trauma issues.

OK, let's note that.

Right.

But we can do all that in a book this thick.

How about a book this thick instead of this thick?

But we then write about you.
