    I've this this theory own mine. Many people either want to claim I'm wrong about this (independent about what they actually think about it) and many people just don't want to change the way they have thinked about in the past. Theory in full, with visual aids is available here (takes only minute or two to read): http://ebounce.info/criteriagame/

    To put it short:

    - Diagnostic criterions are either ambiguous or very ambiguous. What one may understand in certain way, other may understand in other way. It's possible that one and same criterion can be understood in 5 different ways (for example), depending on interpreter.
    - In a group of people diagnosed as having syndrome X, there will be many different types of genotypes (specific genetic makeup).
    - It is possible to form many different kinds of pools from people, who have got some certain diagnosis. For example, if all characteristics of them would be written down and combined, we would have a pool of characteristics, where some characteristics occur many times, where some characteristics conflict between each other and where some characteristics are other's negations.
    - All of the following are syndromes and they all have multiple etiologies (and they don't all exists in same person). It means, that none of them have single cause, reason, genemutation or equivalent. Attention deficit disorder, depression, Asperger's syndrome, panic attack, Alzheimer, dementia, Parkinson's syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, migrane.. they are all syndromes (just to name a few)."

    Question is, can you find any flaws in my theory (see the webpage with full texts)?
