That may be true, realistically speaking in our lifetimes under the aegis of PTG (though I think the Klavierbauer and similar European certifications, and the Kawai MPA are shining examples of what is possible). > If that's only the equivalent of a paramedic, then isn't that better > than a boy scout with minimal first aid experience?
