I wonder if African doctors are taught "When you hear hoofbeats, think of zebras, not horses"?

That might sound like a flippant comment, but I found it interesting that such a subjective example is used to demonstrate what should be an objective axiom.




Having lived in Africa (Cape Town) I I'd say that I saw more horses than zebras there.

Though sometimes, in the bush, it was zebras.
