> Even before this finding, my team had ordered five biopsies to be taken from three regions of my stomach.

This is really invasive and I definitely hope there were solid grounds to order this. If not, his team has a pretty gung-ho approach.

Well he just « overhauled » them… which I’m going to interpret as laying off a bunch who didn’t flag this to him earlier. If you just got hired by a billionaire who fired everyone on the prior team for not catching something, and is paying you to be brutally accurate are you going to order 1 biopsy? 2?

One gives you a high potential for false positives or negatives, two data points with opposite results is just as useless. Three is the gold standard to create a consensus among sensors, a lesson Boeing learned with their angle of attack at the cost of many lives.
