What you don't know won't hurt you. Unless it is disseminated (as most things are, in the long term), or worse, blindly acted upon (as too many things are, in the short term).
Sanity checks were performed regularly.
Psychiatry for Dummies, anyone?[1]. Sanity checks are a funny thing. Sometimes diagnosis creates more problems than the suspected condition ever would.
You're exactly right, CW. Some people take a diagnosis as being a personal attack. What it really is, is we psychs' version of the "inconvenient truth".
