Is our speciality going the wrong way? A personal perspective

Abstract

During recent years I have become concerned about the level of scientific knowledge of the specialist we are graduating. It may well be that the expectations have been too high, but then I would think that everybody would agree that aiming high rather than low is what we should be doing. Naturally, there will always be the exceptions, but my main concern is about the average level, and it is in this context that it should be viewed.
