    Okay, so there would not have been a way to know you have first hand medical experience that you’re now claiming. The pushback was against the wording “clearly” because that’s obviously meant to say that this is cut and dried which I highly doubt it would be – medical opinion and whatnot.

    Are you really saying that dementia is a binary condition? My understanding is that it’s something that slowly comes on. While you could easily say “this looks like dementia setting in” and get no pushback, saying “this is clearly dementia” has an incredibly different ring to it. To me that wording implies if you asked him his name he would either not know or would struggle. I never really thought my grandparents had “dementia” because despite being slower and forgetting things, they never seem to have lost their core knowledge or personality. And Biden was probably much more on his toes than they were. So yeah, I can’t say I agree with this snap assessment even if he “clearly” presents some symptoms.
