On: Are colonoscopies worth it?

Article doesn't actually answer the question? Certainly interesting information about the topic and efficacy, but it doesn't really explain how the current situation came about.

Why is my neighbor driving around on a donut? I could write 3000 words on the history of tires, the assorted trade offs of trunk storage vs spare diameter, the geographical distribution of potholes, etc., but none of that explains why the donut is there.

I was satisfied with the answer given in the Discussion section at the end of the article.

If someone else hasn't clicked on the article link (people still do that?) it says literally this:

  Are colonoscopies better than other screening methods? I don’t know. Maybe!

Okay, thanks, went back and read it again. I may have preferred more, but it is there.
