Our approach to the problem of disease is even less rational. I am not thinking of Christian
scientists or spiritual healers, but of the average man or woman who has a certain belief in the
results of modern medicine, and even of a part of the medical profession itself. Serious illness
in ourselves or our friends always rouses a good deal of emotion. Now, when we are
emotional about a subject we feel a need to believe something about it, and we do not care
very much whether our beliefs are rational. The pre-Christian attitude to disease was that it
was a punishment from some deity for a sin either of the sick person, his family, or the whole
community. Jesus did not take this view. When asked concerning a man born blind, ‘who did
sin, this man, or his parents that he was born blind?...’ he replied, ‘Neither hath this man
sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.’ This is not
so unlike the attitude of the scientist who regards a case of disease as a manifestation of a
natural law, which can only be cured or prevented when research has revealed the working of
the law in question.

Commonly, the user of the program provides this data and thus has some control over the program’s behavior.
