Maybe AAST is pushing for it, but that doesn't mean it's a certainty, like you keep saying. And based on what the AASM says, they don't think it's necessarily a good idea.

And if you think about it, the sleep technicians shouldn't be too much in favor of it because it could possibly put some of them out of a job - ie less overnight sleep tests would mean less need for sleep techs.

Even if the AAST wrote that it is an opinion piece. I am pretty sure that xxyzx is not able to rationally distinguish between his own or his favored opinions and facts.

Exactly. But that's not what he is saying. If he believes it or thinks it's a good idea, it's a fact and anybody who disagrees is the "l" word.

Sad.

He's really disruptive and dangerous to the well being of this forum.
