You have changed your mind! This is HUGE! Originally you said:

Now you say:

We are in agreement.

You misunderstood, I am not saying which conclusion they must draw, I am saying it is impossible for them to have come to any conclusion, and they should have admitted that. I do not find it imaginable that a video clip could have subtle evidence for experts to find when the Dystonia Foundation says that multiple, extended psychiatric evaluations are necessary before reaching the conclusion they say they reached in five minutes of video. It's unethical and irresponsible for doctors who haven't examined her to announce to the press that she doesn't have what her doctor says she has.

Her doctor did give her a direct examination. He diagnosed her with dystonia. Until I hear *facts* otherwise, that's the conclusion I'm sticking with.
