Have to run, will come back and add sources tomorrow morning.--Ioshus (disp) 23:38, 8 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I completely changed things to tidy up the latin, and add some facts, and it isn't exactly eloquent yet.--Ioshus (disp) 23:41, 8 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
I've helped too. ;) IacobusAmor 00:12, 9 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
Gratias, Iacobe!--Ioshus (disp) 16:42, 9 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

[recensere] doctus/doctores

Doctor means something specific in this day and age. Not all people who are doctus are doctors. I vote rv back to doctos, beause, though rare, surely not everyone who studies the effects of smoking cigarettes on humans is a doctor. But anyone who knows their craft is doctus.--Ioshus (disp) 21:56, 9 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Exactly. I'm a doctor, but would you take my medical advice? >:o IacobusAmor 22:13, 9 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
As long as your medical advice includes women, wine, and as much food as I want. ;] --Ioshus (disp) 22:36, 9 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
I don't have a strong opinion on this point, but note that doctor = basically 'teacher', which implies (one would hope) a certain level of learnedness. Maybe the best plan would be to get rid of the medical doctors altogether and call the pertinent people investigatores (researchers), or whatever. IacobusAmor 22:13, 9 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you that doctor connotes a level of learnedness, but doctus denotes it. He who has learned about the effects of medicine may not teach anyone, but is certainly doctus in medicine. Times like this when I wish someone here were la-N =P! Let's see what Iustinus thinks.--Ioshus (disp) 22:36, 9 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
Estne melius dicere "medicus" in loco "doctus"? Sinister Petrus 04:25, 17 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
